The British Grenadiers [R0W.]

u'Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules<br>Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these.<br>But of all the world\'s brave heroes, there\'s none that can compare.<br>With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers.<br><br>Those heroes of antiquity ne\'er saw a cannon ball,<br>Or knew the force of powder to slay their foes withal.<br>But our brave boys do know it, and banish all their fears,<br>With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.<br><br>Whene\'er we are commanded to storm the palisades,<br>Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades.<br>We throw them from the glacis, about the enemies\' ears.[n 1]<br>With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.<br><br>And when the siege is over, we to the town repair.<br>The townsmen cry, "Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier!<br>Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears!<br>Then sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.<br><br>Then let us fill a bumper, and drink a health of those<br>Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the loop\xe8d clothes.<br>May they and their commanders live happy all their years.<br>With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.'
