| Fain in the last ditch dead | E |
| Back from an ass's jaw | K |
| All that was left of them | G |
| Left by the two hundred | E |
| - | |
| When can their glory fade | E |
| Oh what a wild charge they made | E |
| All the world wondered | E |
| Honor the charge they made | E |
| Honor the Mule Brigade | E |
| Long eared two hundred | E |
