You'd better sleep with your rifle
|
Keep your powder dry
|
You'll be fighting for your country
|
See the colours fly
|
They'll be coming in the morning boys
|
You gotta hold the line
|
|
You're the men from Harloch
|
You'll be standing proud
|
You're the queens light infantry
|
Sing out loud
|
They'll be coming in the morning boys
|
You gotta hold the line
|
|
You came for the glory
|
To fight and to die
|
You stood in the thin red line
|
Remember the heroes
|
When stories are told
|
They died in the thin red line
|
In the thin red line
|
|
Stand steady in the ranks boys
|
You gotta hold your fire
|
We'll show them what we're made of
|
When they hit the wire
|
They'll be coming in the morning boys
|
You gotta hold the line
|
|
You'll be thinking of your love ones
|
That you left back there
|
Then the sound of the bugle
|
Cuts the cool night air
|
They'll be coming in the morning boys
|
You gotta hold the line
|
|
You came for the glory
|
To fight and to die
|
You stood in the thin red line
|
Remember the heroes
|
When stories are told
|
They died in the thin red line
|
In the thin red line
|
|
Now you lay with your comrades
|
Far across the sea
|
When you're fighting for the empire
|
Did you die for me
|
They'll be coming in the morning boys
|
You gotta hold the line
|
|
You'd better sleep with your rifle
|
Keep your powder dry
|
You'll be fighting for your country
|
See the colours fly
|
They'll be coming in the morning boys
|
You gotta hold the line
|
|
You came for the glory
|
To fight and to die
|
You stood in the thin red line
|
Remember the heroes (remember the heroes)
|
When stories are told
|
They died in the thin red line
|
In the thin red line
|
|
You came for the glory (you came for the glory)
|
To fight and to die
|
You stood in the thin red line
|
Remember the heroes (remember the heroes)
|
When stories are told
|
They died in the thin red line
|
In the thin red line
|
