What a fun experience. The band started to play The British Grenadiers at the beginning of the parade. It's been a military march since the 17th century and the words from the 18th, so fitting to have it played for the Regency march. We learnt this song at school Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these But of all the world’s great heroes There’s none that can compare With a tow, row row row , row row row To the British Grenadiers None of these ancient heroes ne’er saw a cannon ball Nor knew the force of powder to slay their foes withal But our brave boys do know it and banish all their fears Sing tow, row row row , row row row For the British Grenadiers When e’er we are commanded To storm the palisades Our leaders march with fuses, and we with hand grenades; We throw them from the glacis about the enemies’ ears Sing tow, row row row , row row row For the British Grenadiers

Some talk of Alexander,
and some of Hercules
Of Hector and Lysander,
and such great names as these
But of all the world’s great heroes
There’s none that can compare
With a tow, row row row , row row row
To the British Grenadiers
None of these ancient heroes
ne’er saw a cannon ball
Nor knew the force of powder
to slay their foes withal
But our brave boys do know it
and banish all their fears
Sing tow, row row row , row row row
For the British Grenadiers
When e’er we are commanded
To storm the palisades
Our leaders march with fuses,
and we with hand grenades;
We throw them from the glacis
about the enemies’ ears
Sing tow, row row row , row row row
For the British Grenadiers
Wow! I love that! Thanks for sharing the lyrics.
