  • "The British Grenadiers" was a marching song Used by both the Irish Army and British Army.
    The Irish Army or Irish establishment, in practice called the monarch's "army in Ireland" or "army of Ireland", was the standing army of the Kingdom of Ireland, a client state of the Kingdom of England and subsequently (from 1707) of Great Britain. It existed from the early 1660s until merged into the British Army in 1801, and for much of the period was the largest force available to the British monarchy, being substantially larger than the English and Scottish establishments.

    Lyrics:
    Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules
    Of Hector and Lysander, and such great names as these.
    But of all the world's brave heroes, there's none that can compare.
    With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, to the British Grenadiers.
    Those heroes of antiquity ne'er saw a cannon ball,
    Or knew the force of powder to slay their foes withal.
    But our brave boys do know it, and banish all their fears,
    With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.
    Whene'er we are commanded to storm the palisades,
    Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades.
    We throw them from the glacis, about the enemies' ears.[n 1]
    With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.
    And when the siege is over, we to the town repair.
    The townsmen cry, "Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier!
    Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears!
    Then sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.
    Then let us fill a bumper, and drink a health of those
    Who carry caps and pouches, and wear the loopèd clothes.
    May they and their commanders live happy all their years.
    With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the British Grenadiers.
