THE CAVALIER'S GLEE

1. Spur on! Spur on! We love the bounding
Of barbs that bear us to the fray.
The charge our bugles now are sounding
And our bold Stuart leads the way!

CHORUS: The path of honour lies before us.
Our hated foeman gathers fast.
At home, bright eyes are sparkling for us,
And we'll defend them to the last!

2. Spur on! Spur on! We love the rushing
Of steeds that spurn the turf they tread.
We'll through the northern ranks go crushing
With our proud battle flag o'erhead.

3. Spur on! Spur on! We love the flashing
Of blades that battle to be free.
'Tis for our sunny south they are clashing,
For household, God and liberty!

4. Spur on! Spur on! We love the bounding
Of barbs that bear us to the fray.
The charge our bugles now are sounding
And our bold Stuart leads the way!
