| Recruiting Sergeant G C Em Two recruiting sergeants came to the CLB C D G D For the sons of the merchants to join the Blue Puttees C G G/F# Em So all hands enlisted, five hundred young men G C D G Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florizel And on the sands of Silvla they entered into hell And on those bloody beaches the first of them fell Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me Chorus: And its over the mountains and over the sea Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees You'll fight the hod in Flander's and at Gallipoli Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me The call came from London for the last July drive To the trenches with the regiment, prepare yourselves to die The roll call next morning, just a handful survived Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me (Chorus) The stone men on Water Street still cry for the day When the pride of this city went marching away A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the King did say Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me (Chorus x 2) |
