We be soldiers three
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
Lately come forth from the low country
With never a penny of money

We be soldiers three
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
Lately come forth from the low country
With never a penny of money

Here, good fellow, I'll drink to thee
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
To all good fellows wherever they be
With never a penny of money

We be soldiers three
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
Lately come forth from the low country
With never a penny of money

Here, good fellow, I'll sing you a song
Sing for the brave and sing for the strong
To all those living and those who are gone
With never a penny of money

We be soldiers three
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
Lately come forth from the low country
With never a penny of money
And he who will not pledge me this
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
Pays for the shot whatever it is
With never a penny of money

We be soldiers three
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
Lately come forth from the low country
With never a penny of money

We be soldiers three
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
Lately come forth from the low country
With never a penny of money

[Instrumental break]

We be soldiers three
Pardonnez-moi je vous en prie
Lately come forth from the low country
With never a penny of money
With never a penny of money
