IN de fus’ squad an’ de front rank,
\n‘Side me dear Will on de right flank,
\nFrom de drill-groun’ at the old camp
\nWe went marchin’ on a long tramp.<\/p>\n

In de forefront was de gay band,
\nAn’ de music it was ring grand ;
\nO how jolly were we boys, oh,
\nAs we marched ‘long t’rough St. Jago!<\/p>\n

As we tramped on out de dull town,
\nKeepin’ time so[1]<\/sup><\/a> to de drum’s soun’,
\nAll de folkses as dey ran out,
\nStarted dancin’ with a glad shout.<\/p>\n

We went swingin’ do’n de steep hill,
\nMe so happy by my dear Will,
\nWid our carbines slung about we,
\nAn’ our glad hearts like de air free.<\/p>\n

We drank a draught from a pure brook
\nDat came windin’ roun’ a lee nook;
\nThen homeward turned from de cool spring,
\nWid our good S. M. commanding.<\/p>\n

To de music wid a good will
\nWe went tramp-trampin’ up de hill,
\nAn’ back to camp strode marchin’ t’rough
\nDe sad ruins of St. Jago.<\/p>\n
