You generals all and champions bold that takes delight in
fields
That knocks down churches and castle walls but now to death must
yield
We
must go and face our daring foes and with a sword and shield
I often fought with my merry men
but now to death must yield
I am an Englishman by birth, Lord Marlborough is my
name
And I was brought up in London town, a place of noted fame
I was *beside* by all my
men, kings and princes likewise
And then all the towns we took to all the world's
surprise
King Charles the Second I did serve to face our foes in France
And at the
battle of *Ramevis* we boldly did advance
The sun was down, the earth did quake, so loudly did
he cry
"Fight on, my boys, for old England's sake, we'll conquer or we'll
die"
But now we gain for victory and bravely kept the field
We took great numbers of
prisoners and forced them all to yield
That very day my horse got shot, 'twas by a musket
ball
And as I mounted up again, my aide-de-camp did fall
Now I on a bed of sickness
lie, I am resigned to die
You generals all and champions bold stand true as well as
I
"Stand true my lads and *bright* no man but fight with courage
bold"
I led my
men through smoke and fire but never *slight* with gold
