From the song quoted below "As a thin red line took a military stand,
There was sling shot, chain shot, grape shot too,"

Fighting for strangers (an excerpt):

"What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers When you could be
safe at home free from all dangers? A recruiting sergeant came our way
To an Inn nearby at the close of day He said young Johnny you're a fine
young man Would you like to march along behind a military band, With a
scarlet coat and a big cocked hat, And a musket at your shoulder,
The shilling he took and he kissed the book, Oh poor Johnny what will
happen to ya? The recruiting sergeant marched away From the Inn nearby at
the break of day, Johnny went too with half a ring
He was off to be a soldier he'd be fighting for the King In a far off war
in a far off land
To face a foreign soldier,
But how will you fare when there's lead in the air, Oh poor Johnny what'll
happen to ya? What makes you go abroad fighting for strangers When you
could be safe at home free from all dangers? The sun shone hot on a barren
land
As a thin red line took a military stand, There was sling shot, chain shot,
grape shot too, Swords and bayonets thrusting through, Poor Johnny fell but
the day was won And the King is grateful to you"
