Lord Marlborough by Fairport Convention


You generals all and champions bold that takes delight in fields

That knocks down churches and castle walls but now to death must yield

We must go and face our daring foes and with a sword and shield

I often fought with my merry men but now to death must yield

I am an englishman by birth lord marlborough is my name

And i was brought up in london town a place of noted fame

I was beloved by all my men and kings and princes likewise

And then all the towns we took to all the world's surprise

King charles the second i did serve to face our foes in france

And at the battle of ramillies we boldly did advance

The sun was down the earth did quake so loudly did he cry

"fight on my boys for old england's sake we'll conquer or we'll die"

But now we gained the victory and bravely kept the field

We took great numbers of prisoners and forced them all to yield

That very day my horse got shot 'twas by a musket ball

And as i mounted up again my aide-de-camp did fall

Now i on a bed of sickness lie i am resigned to die

You generals and champions bold stand true as well as i

"stand true my lads and fly no man but fight with courage bold"

I led my men through smoke and fire but ne'er was slight with gold
