OME talk of Alexander,
 * and some of Hercules,

Of Hector and Lysander,
 * and such great men as these;

But all the world acknowledges,
 * true valour best appears.

With a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
 * brave British Grenadiers

These ancients of antiquity,
 * ne'er saw a cannon ball;

Nor knew the force of powder,
 * to stay their foes with all:

But braver boys have known its
 * and banish'd all their fears,

For a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
 * brave British GrenadeersGrenadiers [sic].

When we receive the orders,
 * to storm their palisadoes;

Our leaders march with ,
 * and we with hand gianadoes,

We toss them from the glacis,
 * amongst our en'mies ears,

With a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
 * brave British Grenadiers.

Then Jove the God of thunder,
 * and Mars the God of war;
