Lyr. Add: WE'RE MARCHING ROUND THE LEVEE

We're marching round the levee,
We're marching round the levee,
We're marching round the levee,
For we shall gain the day.

Go out and in the window, (3x)
For we shall gain the day.

Go forth and face your lover, (3x)
For we shall gain the day.

I kneel because I love you, (3x)
For we shall gain the day.

I measure my love to show you, (3x)
For we shall gain the day.

I'll take a sweet kiss and leave you, (3x)
For we shall gain the day.

Probably related to a version of "Marching Down to Old Quebec." Little of the original material remains, typical of these games in which material was added and subtracted at will. Trying to find original versions is difficult.
