Recruiting sergeant
Great big seaFor the sons of the merchants to join the Blue Puttees
All hands enlisted, five hundred young men,
Enlist, ye Newfoundlanders, and come follow me.
They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florizel,
And on the sands of Suvla, they entered into hell
'Twas on those bloody beaches, the first of them fell,
Enlist, ye 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 Hun in Flanders, and at Galipoli,
Enlist, ye Newfoundlanders, and come follow me.
The call came from London for the last July drive,
"To the trenches with the Regiment, prepare yourselves to die."
Roll call next morning, just a handful survived,
Enlist, ye 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 Hun in Flanders, and at Galipoli,
Enlist, ye Newfoundlanders, and come follow me.
The store men on Water Street still cry for the day,
When the pride of their city, went marching away
A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the King say,
Enlist, ye Newfoundlanders, and come follow me.
Para os filhos dos comerciantes para se juntar as perneiras azuis
Todas as mãos se alistou, quinhentos homens jovens,
Recrute, vós Newfoundlanders, e siga-me.
Eles atravessaram o Atlântico larga no Florizel corajoso,
E nas areias da Suvla, eles entraram no inferno
'Twas sobre as praias de sangue, o primeiro deles caiu,
Recrute, vós Newfoundlanders, e siga-me.
Então, é sobre as montanhas e sobre os mares,
Vem, corajosa de Newfoundland, e se juntar as perneiras azuis
Você vai lutar contra o Huno, na Flandres, e em Galipoli,
Recrute, vós Newfoundlanders, e siga-me.
A chamada veio de Londres para a unidade de julho do ano passado,
"Para as trincheiras com o Regimento, preparem-se para morrer."
Role chamar manhã seguinte, apenas um punhado sobreviveu,
Recrute, vós Newfoundlanders, e siga-me.
Então, é sobre as montanhas e sobre os mares,
Vem, corajosa de Newfoundland, e se juntar as perneiras azuis
Você vai lutar contra o Huno, na Flandres, e em Galipoli,
Recrute, vós Newfoundlanders, e siga-me.
Os homens de loja na Rua Água ainda choro para o dia,
Quando o orgulho de sua cidade, foi marchando para longe
Mil homens abatidos, para ouvir o Rei dizer,
Recrute, vós Newfoundlanders, e siga-me.
