ENTERING DUNDEE.
Shouting “Goring!” slashing, roaring,
Singing, swearing, musket flaring, colours blowing free,
On a day in pleasant May, never minding right of way,
Never stopping shot to pay,
Merry rode the troopers into fair Dundee.
Singing, swearing, musket flaring, colours blowing free,
On a day in pleasant May, never minding right of way,
Never stopping shot to pay,
Merry rode the troopers into fair Dundee.
Sparrow-shooting, crying, hooting,
Tossing, prancing, pennon dancing, through the window see—
Clashing scabbard, not a laggard, spurring fast from lea and haggard,
Shaking every noisy scabbard,
Merry rode the troopers into fair Dundee.
Tossing, prancing, pennon dancing, through the window see—
Clashing scabbard, not a laggard, spurring fast from lea and haggard,
Shaking every noisy scabbard,
Merry rode the troopers into fair Dundee.
