Another from the Indian Mutiny/Sepoy Mutiny of 1857/8

The Fall of Delhi

O Come fill up a bumper,
Our toil at length is done,
The Pandies are defeated
And Delhi has been won.
Great men were they, in their own eyes,
At least, then, so they thought
But we took the shine out of them
On the 12th at Trimmu Ghat.
When a-hunting we did go, my boys,
A-hunting we did go.
To chase those Pandies night and day,
And levelled Delhi low.

A-thisting to avenge, my boys,
The bloodshed that's been done.
On poor defenceless women,
'Ere Delhi had been won.
We made those Pandies for to know.
We caused them for to feel,
That British wrongs will be avenged
By stirling British steel,
When a-huntig we did go, my boys etc.

On the fouteenth of September,
I remember well the date,
We showed the Pandies a new hit
When we stormed the Kashmir Gate.
Theirgrapeshot, shell and musketry,
They found but little good.
When British soldiers were outside
A-thirsting for their blood
When a hunting we did go etc.

IIRC this appears in Winstock's "Songs and Music of the Redcoats". No tune is given, but it fits to the old (pre-1860s)"British Grenadiers".

"Pandy/Pandies" was the British nickname for the mutineers/rebels and derived from one Mangel Pande who was one of the first (during 1857) to try to raise a mutiny (unsucessfully in his case - I believe he was hanged, but he might have been shot down "in the act" - memory fails me here).
