THE VICTORIA CROSS

Our sodliers and our s ilors,
In happiness and b oom,
With lightsome heart haste to Hyde
Park
On the twenty sixth of June
To meet the Queen of England,
With her subj cts gathered round,
And for their g llent conduct
She with laurels will them crown,

Hussa, Hnssa, Hussa
Queen Victoria's on the ground
Where her gallent tars and s ldiers
She will with l urcls crown,

The lads who foughl for honos
And did no danger fear
Who made their mies to run,
And beat the Russian bear
Who boldly stood all hardsh ps
By land and on the sea
And would never give is untill
They grieved the victory,

Her army and her navy,
Queen Victoria meets in bloom
And on each breast she'll place a ross
The twenty sixth of June,
Long may live to wear it,
And never know disdain
again they should be wantek
They'll lor honour fight again,

What lots of blooming damsels
Are running from afor
Some th nks to get a soldier
And some a old Jack Tar

There wag a farmer Daughter
Twice as big as a brewers horse
So gay and keen to ask the queen
For a Victoria's Cro s

Fa li a mind your pockets
Are you surely will be done,
Some coveys goes a picking
Others takes them as they come,
Oh lack a day old Sally said
The villians shall hot rob are
have got my money in a bag
Tied und rneat my knee.

God save the q een of England
We will cheer them three times three
With her soldie s and her s ilors
Who can fight by land and sea.
who an make all tyrants treab e
And crush them to the ground,
And whosh Il never dare insult,
Brittani s noble crown.

This day we shall remember
When some thousands hastned soon
With a joyful heart to famed Hyde
Park
On the twenty sixth of June
Heres our army and our navy
Who shall ever honoured be
And the ag that braved a thousand
years
The battle and the breeze
