- It's now the drums are beating love I can no longer stay
I hear the bugles sounding and the call I must obey
We're ordered out to Portsmouth so many's the long mile
And we'll join the British Army on the banks of the NileThen I'll cut off my yellow hair, and I'll go along with you.
I'll go into the battle field, and I'll see the captain too.
I'll fight and bear your banner love your fortune and your smile And we'll comfort one another on the banks of the NileO Nancy lovely Nancy that's a case that can't be so(continues on next page)- Collector
