Two recruiting Sergeants came to the CLP
For the sons of the merchants to join the Blue Puttees
So all hands enlisted, 500 young men
Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me
They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florizel,
And on the sands of Suvla, they entered into hell
And on those bloody beaches, the first of them fell...
Enlist ye Newfoundlanders and come follow me
And it's over the mountains and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the blue puttees
We'll fight the Hun in Flanders and at Gallipoli
Enlist ye Newfoundlanders and come follow me
The call came from London for the last July drive
"Tell the trenches with the regiments; prepare yourself to die."
The roll call next morning, just handful survived
Enlist ye Newfoundlanders and come follow me
And it's over the mountains and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the blue puttees
We'll fight the Hun in Flanders and at Gallipoli
Enlist ye Newfoundlanders and come follow me
The stone men on Water Street still cry for the day
When the pride of the city went marching away
A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the King say
Enlist ye Newfoundlanders and come follow me
So, it's over the mountains and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the blue puttees
We'll fight the Hun in Flanders and at Gallipoli
Enlist ye Newfoundlanders and come follow me
(Tap on your guitar the beat in this part)
And it's over the mountains and over the sea
Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the blue puttees
We'll fight the Hun in Flanders and at Gallipoli
Enlist ye Newfoundlanders and come follow me
Enlist ye Newfoundlanders and come follow me
Finshed!
