The Battle of Alma
The Battle of Alma Come all you gallant British hearts who love the red and blue, come drink a health to those brave lads who made the Russians rue! Fill up your glass and let it pass, three cheers and one cheer more for the 14th of September, 1854! We sailed out from Kalamita Bay and soon we made the coast, determined we would do our best in spite of brag and boast. We sprang to land upon the strand and stepped on Russian shore on 14th of September, 1854! Here's a health to noble Raglan and Campbell and to Brown, and to call the gallant Froggies who shared the day's renown! While we displayed the black cockade and they the tricolour bore, the Russian crew wore grey and blue in 1854! Come let us drink a toast tonight, our glasses in our hand! And all around this festive board in solemn silence stand. Before we part, let each true heart drink once to those no more who fought their last on Alma's height in 1854!
