Andy Great Big Sea Recruiting Sargeant Lyrics
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,
On the sands of Suvla, they entered into hell
And on those b_____ beaches, the first of them fell
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
And it's over the mountains, and over the seas
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight the hunt 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 yourself to die
The roll call next morning, just a handful survived.
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
And it's over the mountains, and over the seas
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight the hunt in Flanders, and at Galipoli
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
So it's over the mountains, and over the seas
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight the hunt in Flanders, and at Galipoli
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
So it's over the mountains, and over the seas
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees
You'll fight the hunt in Flanders, and at Galipoli
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me..
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
