CHEER up you bold sons of Britannia
Cheer up now with heart & with voice
Cheer up since the war is all over,
We have peace, then together rejoice
Our husbands,our sons,and our brothers
Will quickly return to their friends,
Then we shall be all happy together,
Since the Russian war's at an end.

We have peace, and the war is all over
We have made the proud Russians
to prance,
We'll unite, and be happy together
success to Old England and France.

Old England was never yet conquer d
Her sons did so proudly advance,
There's no power on earth that can
conquer
The lads of Old England & France.
Thro' suffering,fatigue,cold and hunger
To conquer the foe well they tried
To stood till they could stand no longer
For glory they fought and they died

Here's a health to our army and navy,
Our soldiers and sailors so true,
In harmony chorus together,
Success to the red, white and blue ;
And you pretty maidens of England,
Whose hearts will to honour be le
Sympathise with our brave noblesoldier
And stand by the jackets of red.

How many kind fathers and mothers
Have wept for their sons when afar,
And how many sisters and brothers,
Their kindred have lost in the war ;
And how many lovely maidens for their
True love did sigh and deplore,
Who went forth to fight and to conquer
And alas to return never more.

Thank God now the war is all over,
And the cowardly Russians are lick'd
We care not for great Alexander,
Nor the ghost of his father, Old Nick.
So certain all Europe he'd conquer,
He boasted when he did begin,
ButEngland & France made him wonder
The tyrant was glad to give in.

The Russians, the Austrians, & Prussians
Can see what the Allies did mean,
TheFrenchmen fought well forNapoleon
And Britons did fight for their Queen
There was nothing on earth that could
daunt them,
They fought, & with courage so true,
Fear no nor death e'er could daunt them
While they stood by the red, white,
and blue.

The flowing bowl fill up so clever,
And to each friend let it go round,
Here's our true British soldiers for ever
Who fought for their country & crown
Here's a health to our trueBritish sailors
Who droudly to battle advanced,
And now that the war is all over,
We'll drink to Old England &France
