The sgts got 42 recruits, but I think it's just a kind of a pun on the number of the regiment. Ian's verse has several versions, e.g. Wha saw the forty-second,/ Wha saw them gang awa',/ Wha saw the forty-second,/ Mairchin' doon the Broomielaw. / Some o' them had buits an' stockins,/ some o' them had nane at a',/ Some o' them had umberellas [4 syllables!]/ Mairchin' doon the Broomielaw. |
