I wanted to sing this myself and the website no longer has the lyrics, so I have transcribed it as best I can.



Stand to, me bonny lads,
Stand to and make you ready.
Stand to, me bonny lads,
Hold the line right steady.
Let bright bands rule the flame;
This day shall bear your name.
Stand to, me bonny lads,
Hold the line right steady.


Be steadfast, bonny lads,
May angels now attend thee.
Be steadfast, bonny lads,
For earthly dread defend thee.
One final holy prayer
A whistle greets the air
Be steadfast, bonny lads
Angels now attend thee


Go easy, bonny lads,
Up the line to glory
Go easy, bonny lads
With every step a story.
These meadows turn to mud
For they’re sown with seeds of blood
Go easy, bonny lads
Up the line to glory
