 G                                  D    G               
Some talk of Alexander and some of Hercules
 G                                     D        G 
Of Hector and Lysander and such great names as these
 G                                           C                G   D 
But of all the world’s great heroes there’s none that can compare
       G       D       G       C          G       D     G 
With a tow row row row row row row to the British Grenadiers

 G                                        D      G 
None of these ancient heroes ne’er saw a cannon ball
 G                                          D         G 
Nor knew the force of powder to slay their foes with all
 G                                 C                G    D 
But our brave boys do know it and banish all their fears

When e’er we are commanded to storm the palisades

Our leaders march with fuses and we with hand grenades
 G                              C                 G   D 
We throw them from the glacis about the enemies’ ears
     G       D       G       C           G       D     G 
Sing tow row row row row row row for the British Grenadiers
