No. 3 - Song - Lovelace and Chorus - "Marching Away."
| Chorus: | Red coats! Hooray! The Red coats are a-coming, Red coats! Hooray! With fifing and with drumming. Marching away, the Red coats are a-coming, With fifing and with drumming. Red coats! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Oh, how we love the fife and drumming! Red coats! Hooray! |
| Soldiers: | When duty calls you must obey,
though love may try to blind you, You must march away and think not of the gal you've left behind you. |
| Chorus: | Welcome! Soldiers, hurrah! |
| Lovelace: | When the regiment is marching
to the drum and bugle call, With an air that's debonair, I march, I march ahead of all. With all our colors proudly flying, all admire my martial air; at the word I draw my sword, let England's foes beware! Then marching away, in rank and file so steadily, |
| Chorus: | Steadily! |
| Lovelace: | Marching away, to meet the foe so readily, |
| Chorus: | Readily, |
| Lovelace: | Marching away with drum and fife so merrily, |
| Chorus: | Merrily, |
| Lovelace: | Now to battle calling we march away. |
| All: | Marching away, in rank and file
so steadily, steadily, Marching away, to meet the foe so readily, readily, Marching away with drum and fife so merrily, merrily, |
| Lovelace: | Soldiers, duty calls you, so march away. |
