Over deze songtekst:
Het lied wordt gezongen door Dick Holdstock, De titel van het lied is ook wel The Bold Fuslier. Het gaat over de rekutering in Rochester, Kent van mannen om soldaat te worden. Die had men nodig voor de Marlborough Wars. Marlborough is de Duke of Marborough en dat was John Churchill. Hij leidde het Engelse leger in de strijd tegen de Fransen van 1701 tot 1710. Hij vocht in de 'low countries'. Dus op het vasteland van Europa. 5 gevechten, 5 overwinningen. De Marlborough wars was een onderdeel van de honderdjarige oorlog.
Het lied is op de melodie van Waltzing Mathilda.
A bold fusilier came marching down through Rochester Bound for the wars in the low countries And he sang as he marched through the crowded streets of Rochester "Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me?" Who'll be a soldier, who'll be a soldier Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me And he sang as he marched through the crowded streets of Rochester "Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me?" The Queen, she has ordered new troops onto the continent To strike a last blow at the enemy And if you would be a soldier all in a scarlet uniform Take the King's shilling for Marlboro and me. Take the King's shilling, take the King's shilling Take the King's shilling for Marlboro and me And if you would be a soldier all in a scarlet uniform Take the King's shilling for Marlboro and me "Not I,'' said the butcher, `"Nor I,'' said the baker Most of the rest with them did agree To be paid with the powder and the rattle of the cannonball Wages for soldiers for Marlboro and me. Wages for soldiers, wages for soldiers Wages for soldiers for Marlboro and me To be paid with the powder and the rattle of the cannonball Wages for soldiers for Marlboro and me "Now I,'' said the young man, "have oft endured the parish queue There is no wages or employment for me. Salvation or danger, that will be my destiny To be a soldier for Marlboro and me'' To be a soldier, to be a soldier To be a soldier for Marlboro and me Salvation or danger, that will be my destiny To be a soldier for Marlboro and me Now twenty new recruits came marching back through Rochester Off to the wars in the north country And they sang as they marched through the crowded streets of Rochester "Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me?'' Who'll be a soldier, who'll be a soldier Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me? And they sang as they marched through the crowded streets of Rochester "Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me?''
