Sassanacks, Scoundrels And Bounders

Verse 1

Come on you Sassanacks, scoundrels and bounders

Come on you chancers, come on my mates

We've come to claim our share of the plunder

We'll drink and sing and the devil may wait

Verse 2

It's all for one and one for each other

We're bound by blood and a common foe

A brother's hand to lend to another

And if we all hang together, we need not hang alone

Verse 3

We'll raise a cry and stir up a frenzy

Strike a blow in the name of the cause

But in the end we're all just victims

Of differing creeds and conflicting laws

Verse 4

So raise your glass and toast the fallen

A salute to a comrade who's passed

The die was cast when duty called them

They never knew if their breath would be their last

Bridge

And as I stand by the cannon's mouth

With death a heartbeat away

I ask myself, "What was it all about?

Would I do it again today?"

Verse 5

Come on you Sassanacks, scoundrels and bounders

Come on my comrades, I know your name

We came to fight but we're all just followers

Of differing lords in the selfsame game

Verse 6

Oh, we're all just soldiers in the battle

We're pawns in a game we cannot win

But we're brothers all in the trenches

And we'll stay together 'til the bitter end

Outro

Come on you Sassanacks, scoundrels and bounders

Come on you chancers, come on my mates

Come on you Sassanacks, scoundrels and bounders

Come on you chancers, come on my mates
