Lyrics
Oh me and my cousin one Arthur McBride,
As we went a walking down by the seaside,
Now, mark what followed and what did betide,
For it being on Christmas morning.
Out for recreation, we went for a tramp,
And we met Sergeant Napper and Corporal Vamp,
And a little wee drummer, intending to camp,
For the day being pleasant and charming.
He says, "My fine fellows if you will enlist,
It's ten guineas in gold I will slip in your fist,
And a crown in the bargain for to kick up the dust,
And drink the King's health in the morning.
And a soldier he always is decent and clean,
In fine clothing he always is constantly seen,
Whilst other poor fellows go dirty and lean,
And sup on thin gruel in the morning."
But, says Arthur, "I wouldn't be proud of your clothes,
For you've only the lend of them as I suppose,
And you dare not change them one night, for you know,
If you do you'll be flogged in the morning.
And although that we are single and free,
We take great delight in our own company,
And we have no desire strange faces to see,
Although that your offers are charming."
He says me young fellows if I hear one more word,
I instantly now will out with my sword,
And into your bodies as strength will afford,
So now my young devils take warning.
But Arthur and I we took in the odds,
And we scarce gave them time for to draw out their swords,
When a trusty shillelagh flew over our heads,
And bade them take that as their warning.
