1886. Marching Through Rochester (Peter Coe) - Jim Herd & Jim O'Boyle)

Another song from the Saturday concert of the Hong Kong Folk Society Reunion at Halsway Manor, Somerset, in July 2014, sung by Jim Herd and Jim O'Boyle. The first verse of this song, also known as "The Gay Fusilier" or "The Bold Fusilier", is supposed to have come from the time of the Duke of Marlborough, though apparently there is no record anywhere of its existence before 1900. Different commentators have rather seen it as a parody of "Waltzing Matilda" from either the Boer war, which was attended by the fusiliers, or even the second world war. Vaughan Williams pointed out that the language was not appropriate to the early eighteenth century period it pretended to represent. The tune is a version of the Scottish song and pipe tune, "Craigielea". This longer version of the song was written by Peter Coe, who added several verses to the existing verse and chorus. In 1967, he found the song in a children's magazine and decided to complete the song "echoing some of the 20th century experiences of growing up in an area of high unemployment in the North West of England, i.e. one of the main options for school leavers was to join the forces." Lyrics: E .................................................. B7 ............................... A A recruiting sergeant marched through the streets of Rochester, E ..................... B7 Bound for the wars in the north country, ............ E ................. B7 ........................ E ..................... A And he sang as he marched and he played upon his kettledrum, E ..................................... B7 ................ E ''Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me?'' .................................. A ............. E Who'll be a soldier? Who'll be a soldier? ...................................... B7 Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me? ............ E ................. B7 ........................ E ..................... A And he sang as he marched and he played upon his kettledrum, E ..................................... B7 ................ E ''Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me?'' Now, the Queen, she has ordered fresh troops for the continent To fight against the French in the low country, And if you would be a soldier all in a scarlet uniform Come be a soldier for Marlboro and me. Come be a soldier. Come be a soldier. Come be a soldier for Marlboro and me. And if you would be a soldier all in a scarlet uniform Come be a soldier for Marlboro and me. ''Not I,'' said the butcher. ''Not I,'' said the mason. Most of the people, they would not agree To be paid in the powder and rattle of the cannonball, Wages for soldiers for Marlboro and me. Wages for soldiers, wages for soldiers, Wages for soldiers for Marlboro and me. To be paid in the powder and rattle of the cannonball, Wages for soldiers for Marlboro and me. Then up jumped the young man, oft tired of the parish queue. "No more charity for the likes of me. Starvation and danger, they will be my destiny. I'll take the queen's shilling for Marlboro and me.'' Starvation and danger, starvation and danger, Starvation and danger, for Marlboro and me.'' Starvation and danger, they will be my destiny. I'll take the queen's shilling for Marlboro and me.'' So then forty recruits marched through the streets of Rochester Bound for the wars in the low country. And they sang as they marched and they played upon their kettle drums, ''Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me?'' Who'll be a soldier, who'll be a soldier, Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me? And they sang as they marched and they played upon their kettle drums, ''Who'll be a soldier for Marlboro and me?''
