(lyrics pt 2) Over the sea far away they lie, Far from the land of their love; Nations alter, the years go by, But Heav’n still is Heav’n above, Not in the abbey proudly laid Find they a place or part; The gallant boys of the old Brigade, They sleep in old England’s heart. Then steadily shoulder to shoulder, Steadily blade by blade! Ready and strong, marching along Like the boys of the old Brigade! Frederick J Weatherly

Cant fit all the lyrics in 1 post but here they are split up: Where are the boys of the old Brigade, Who fought with us side by side? Shoulder to shoulder, and blade by blade, Fought till they fell and died! Who so ready and undismayed? Who so merry and true? Where are the boys of the old Brigade? Where are the lads we knew? Then steadily shoulder to shoulder, Steadily blade by blade! Ready and strong, marching along Like the boys of the old Brigade!

[wonjat5]

Than you for putting together a great site, a wonderful selection of tunes and marches.

[wonjat5]

Would like to know the words

[TashkentFox]

I can't find the original lyrics, if I remember correctly it was about the Boer war. Wikipedia isn't any help because they think a rip-off version about the IRA is the original.
