Thread Name: DTStudy: Clare's Dragoons
Subject: RE: DTStudy: Clare's Dragoons
Additional verse seen in both OSB & Library of Congress.

There's not a man, in squadron, here,
Was ever known to flinch or fear,
Though first in charge and last in rear,
Have ever been Lord Clare's Dragoons!
But, see! we'll soon have work to do,
To shame our boasts, or prove them true;
For, hither comes the English Crew,
To sweep away Lord Clare's Dragoons!

Correction to my second posting, The Oxford Song Book contains 4 verses, of which 2 are in the DT: The Library of Congress contains 4 verses, of which 3 are in the DT.
"When on Ramillie's" all 3 versions
"The Brave old lord" OSB only
"Another Clare" Library of Congress & DT
"There's not a man" Library of Congress & OSB
"Oh! comrades think" all 3 versions br

The Library of Congress version was found @ Clare's Dragoons togethr with a very large selection of 19th century song sheets.
