There is a sound of thunder afarA
Storm in the South that darkens the dayB
Storm of battle and thunder of warC
Well if it do not roll our wayB
Storm Storm Riflemen formD
Ready be ready against the stormD
Riflemen Riflemen Riflemen formD
-
Be not deaf to the sound that warnsE
Be not gull'd by a despot's pleaF
Are figs of thistles or grapes of thornsE
How can a despot feel with the FreeF
Form Form Riflemen FormD
Ready be ready to meet the stormD
Riflemen Riflemen Riflemen formD
-
Let your reforms for a moment goG
Look to your butts and take good aimsH
Better a rotten borough or soG
Than a rotten fleet and a city in flamesH
Storm Storm Riflemen formD
Ready be ready against the stormD
Riflemen Riflemen Riflemen formD
-
Form be ready to do or dieI
Form in Freedom's name and the Queen'sJ
True we have got such a faithful allyI
That only the Devil can tell what he meansJ
Form Form Riflemen FormD
Ready be ready to meet the stormD
Riflemen Riflemen Riflemen formD
