Lyrics

Food everywhere, bright lights and flowers
Cavalrymen: Dismount!
A good soldier’s wedding lasts til the wee hours
Brothers, let’s make it count

Tunes from the fiddle twisting and twirling
Bride and groom spinning and whirling
Silver for fortune, salt for health
Blessed be their tavern with love and wealth

Boots scraped clean of filth and grime
The company’s encamped for a time
A toast to the king, to our steads,
To absent friends and to Mary Read

Tunes from the fiddle twisting and twirling
Bride and groom spinning and whirling
Silver for fortune, salt for health
Blessed be their tavern with love and wealth

Have some more wine, the best in all Flanders
Brought in from far and wide
Everyone’s here, cadets to commanders
Eager to toast the bride

Tunes from the fiddle twisting and twirling
Bride and groom spinning and whirling
Silver for fortune, salt for health
Blessed be their tavern with love and wealth
