FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.

[NLS note: a graphic appears here - see image of page]

COME all you gallant Britons bold,
Cheer up with heart and voice,
Sebastopol is taken, and
All Europe will rejoice ;
They first knockd down the Malakhoff
Their enemies they did rout,
And then they took Sebas opol
And drove the Russians out.

           CHORUS.

The gallant Allied Powers made,
Their thundering cannons roll,
Hurrah, hurrah, we've gain'd the day!
And took Sebastopol.
The fifth day of September,
Eighteen hundred and fifty five,
Our soldiers they fought like lions
And the en my did drive ;
The French and the Sardinians,
The British and the Turks,
Did do their duty manfully,
And well they did their work.
Generals Simpson and Pellisier,
So gallant led the way
They said, we'll have the wholecrimea
Upon this glorious day.
Then straight unto Sebastopol
They boldly did advance,
Knock'd down the walls and took the
town
And made the Russians dance.
The Russians they did tumble,
For quarters they did cry ;
Old Menchikoff and Gorschakoff
Upon the ground did lie.
When Alexander heard the news
He nearly kill'd his wife.
Then Constantine cut off his nose
With a greasey wooden knife.
Here's to the Allied Powers,
My boys, with three times three
That beat the cowardly Russians
Then gain'd a victory ;
Tho' the Russians fought us two to
with fire sword and ball
To Frenchmen and Britannia's sons
They was no use at all.
So now we have Sebastopol
And Sweabourg is knock'd down
We will shortly have Petersburg
Then all the country round
Here's to our gallant soldiers
Likewise the sons of France
Who fought and took Sebastopol
Then made the Russians dance !
How will our gallant soldiers
For this rewarded be
Our noble british heroes
who gained the victory ;
The men who bled and conquered,
Upon that glorious day
The men who beat their enemies
Then made them run away.
