GUEST,Monologue John	Lyr Add: Songs and Recitations of Weston & Lee (96* d)	ADD: Boys of the Chelsea School (Carter & Weston)	29 Sep 22
This one appears to be the first song that R P Weston sold to Francis Day & Hunter he was paired with Frank W Carter What the song says of his character I will leave to you to decide The Chelsea was a military one BOYS OF THE CHELSEA SCHOOL written by Frank Carter & R P Weston 1902 Dad is now Old and having earned his pension Needed no more his soldier blood run cool Pleasures he finds his attention Watching the youngsters in the Chelsea School Only youngster learning their vocation Learning the calling that their fathers chose Only youngsters tended by the nation To fight someday Britainnias foes Dad loves these boys why? Tis thus he will reply Chorus Boys of the Chelsea School And the sons of the men we admire In every heart In every vein Runs the blood of a soldier sire Oft around his knee they'd gather for a story Tales of the charge at the Balaclava height Once more he lives the ride of death or glory Ah T'was an error but a glorious fight Faces flush while eagerly they glisten Fingers are twitching though their lips are dumb Tells him someday their chance may come Then they will do once more As he did in Fifty four Chorus Boys of the Chelsea School And the sons of the men we admire In every heart In every vein Runs the blood of a soldier sire
