Banks Of The Nile - Fotheringay[00:00:00]

Oh hark the drums do beat my love no longer can we stay[00:00:23]

The bugle-horns are sounding clear and we must march away[00:00:40]

We're ordered down to portsmouth and it's many's the weary mile[00:00:56]

To join the british army on the banks of the nile[00:01:11]

Oh willie dearest willie don't leave me here to mourn[00:01:31]

Don't make me curse and rue the day that ever I was born[00:01:48]

For the parting of our love would be like parting with my life[00:02:04]

So stay at home my dearest love and I will be your wife[00:02:19]

Oh my nancy dearest nancy sure that will never do[00:02:46]

The government has ordered and we are bound to go[00:03:04]

The government has ordered and the queen she gives command[00:03:20]

And I am bound on oath my love to serve in a foreign land[00:03:34]

Oh but I'll cut off my yellow hair and I'll go along with you[00:03:53]

I'll dress myself in uniform and I'll see egypt too[00:04:11]

I'll march beneath your banner while fortune it do smile[00:04:26]

And we'll comfort one another on the banks of the nile[00:04:40]

But your waist it is too slender and your fingers they are too small[00:05:09]

And the sultry suns of egypt your rosy cheeks would spoil[00:05:26]

Where the cannons they do rattle when the bullets they do fly[00:05:41]

And the silver trumpets sound so loud to hide the dismal cries[00:05:56]

Oh cursed be those cruel wars that ever they began[00:06:15]

For they have robbed our country of many's the handsome man[00:06:31]

They've robbed us of our sweethearts while their bodies they feed the lions[00:06:48]

On the dry and sandy deserts which are the banks of the nile[00:07:01]
