 There is nothing brings it round— Tarantara ! tarantara !

Like the trumpet's martial sound —

Tarantara !

Tarautara-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra ! etc.

Tarantara-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra !

(from L., addressing ).

Go, ye heroes, go to glory !

Though you die in combat gory,

Ye shall live in song and story —

Go to immortality !

Go to death and go to slaughter ;

Die, and every Cornish daughter

With her tears your graves shall water-

Go, ye heroes, go and die !

Go, ye heroes, go and die !

Though to us it's evident —

Tarantara ! tarantara !

These attentions are well meant —

Tarantara !

Such expressions don't appear —

Tarantara ! tarantara !

Calculated men to cheer —

Tarantara !

Who are going to meet their fate —

Tarantara! tarantara!

In a highly nervous state —

Tarantara !

Still, to us it's evident —

Tarantara ! tarantara !

These attentions are well meant —

Tarantara !

Yes, to them it's evident etc. etc.

(from R., addressing ).

Go, and do your best endeavor.

And before all links we sever

We will say farewell for ever —

Go to glory and the grave!

For your foes are fierce and ruthless,

False, unmerciful, and truthless;

Young and tender, old and toothless,

All in vain their mercy crave.

Yes, your foes are fierce and ruthless, etc
