Great Big Sea - Recruiting Sargeant lyrics

Your rating:


















Two recruiting sergeants came to the CLB,

for the sons of the merchants, to join the Blue Puttees

So all the hands enlisted, five hundred young men

Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me



They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florizel,

And on the sands of Suvla, they entered into hell

And on those bloody beaches, the first of them fell





So it's over the mountains, and over the sea

Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees

You'll fight in Flanders, and at Galipoli

Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me



Then the call came from London, for the last July drive

To the trenches with the regiment, prepare yourselves to die

The roll call next morning, just a handful survived.

Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me







The stone men on Water Street still cry for the day

When the pride of the city went marching away

A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the King say

Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
