w:All_ Brus-sels left that morn-ing For the plains near Wa-ter-loo.
W:On the sixteenth day of June, my boys, in Flanders, where we lay,
W:Our bugles sounded the alarm before the break of day;
W:We Britons, Belgians, Brunswickers, and Hanoverians too,
W:All Brussels left that morning for the plains of Waterloo.
W:
W:By a forces march we did advance till three in the afternoon,
W:Each British heart with ardour beat to pull the tyrant down;
W:Near Quaire-Bras we met the French, their shape to us seemed new,
W:For in steel armour they were clad on the plains of Waterloo.
W:
W:Napolean to his men did say before that they begun,
W:"My heroes, if we lose the day, our nation is undone;
W:The Prussinas we've already beat - we'll beat the British too,
W:And display victorious eagles on the plains of Waterloo."
