Chillanwallah Chillanwallah	A
Where our brothers fought and bled	B
O thy name is natural music	C
And a dirge above the dead	B
Though we have not been defeated	D
Though we can't be overcome	E
Still whene'er thou art repeated	F
I would fain that grief were dumb	E
	-
Chillianwallah Chillianwallah	A
'Tis a name so sad and strange	G
Like a breeze through midnight harpstrings	H
Ringing many a mournful change	G
But the wildness and the sorrow	I
Have a meaning of their own	J
Oh whereof no glad to morrow	I
Can relieve the dismal tone	J
	-
Chillianwallah Chillianwallah	A
'Tis a village dark and low	A
By the bloody Jhelum river	K
Bridged by the foreboding foe	A
And across the wintry water	K
He is ready to retreat	L
When the carnage and the slaughter	K
Shall have paid for his defeat	L
	-
Chillianwallah Chillianwallah	A
'Tis a wild and dreary plain	M
Strewn with plots of thickest jungle	A
Matted with the gory stain	M
There the murder mouthed artillery	N
In the deadly ambuscade	L
Wrought the thunder of its treachery	N
On the skeleton brigade	L
	-
Chillianwallah Chillianwallah	A
When the night set in with rain	M
Came the savage plundering devils	H
To their work among the slain	M
And the wounded and the dying	O
In cold blood did share the doom	P
Of their comrades round them lying	O
Stiff in the dead skyless gloom	P
	-
Chillianwallah Chillianwallah	A
Thou wilt be a doleful chord	L
And a mystic note of mourning	O
That will need no chiming word	L
And that heart will leap with anguish	Q
Who may understand thee best	L
But the hopes of all will languish	Q
Till thy memory is at rest	L
