He Who Would Be King

One for the sailing ship safe cross the sea One for the Hessian's bold company One for the soldier who will follow me One for the rightful king whoever he may be Dance lady dance Sing soldier sing Drink to the fortune Of he who would be king One for the hills of home far far away One for the foreign field, honour and grave One for the foreign foe for whom we pray One for the dogs of war to keep us in pay Dance lady dance Sing soldier sing Drink to the fortune Of he who would be king One for the lady, one for the lord One for the musket, one for the sword One for a bonnie prince, his promised word None for sweet William, merciless in war Dance lady dance Sing soldier sing Drink to the fortune Of he who would be king
