We be the King's men, hale and hearty
Marching to meet one Buonaparty;
If he won't sail, lest the wind should blow
We shall have marched for nothing, O!
Right fol-lol! Right fol-lol!
We shall have marched for nothing, O!
Right fol-lol! Right fol-lol!

We be the King's men, hale and hearty
Marching to meet one Buonaparty;
If he be sea-sick, says "No, no!"
We shall have marched for nothing, O!
Right fol-lol! Right fol-lol!
We shall have marched for nothing, O!
Right fol-lol! Right fol-lol!

We be the King's men, hale and hearty
Marching to meet one Buonaparty;
Never mind, mates, we'll be merry though
We may have marched for nothing, O!
Right fol-lol! Right fol-lol!
We may have marched for nothing, O!
