Song Lyrics

Verse 1
The thunder of war is scarcely at an end,
And the noise it has just died away,
And very soon it may break out again,
And bloodshed once more hold the sway:
Our dear little Island is always secure,
In spite of the foes, our foes we endure;
Here's a flag that floats over every shore -
It's the Union Jack of Old England.
Chorus
The flag that always carries the sway,
The flag that guides the sailor on his way,
The flag that fills our foes with dismay -
It's the Union Jack of Old England.
Verse 2
Here's Russia's great army, a million of men,
Has been trying what bluster could do,
It's all very fine but they find it no good
As long as old England stands true:
We don't want to fight, nor we won't run away,
But politely we'll make them remember the day,
How we beat them at Alma, and they ran away,
At the sight of the flag of old England.
Chorus
