O what is that sound which so thrills the ear
Down in the valley drumming, drumming ?
Only the scarlet soldiers, dear,
The soldiers coming.O what is that light I see flashing so clear
Over the distance brightly, brightly ?
Only the sun on their weapons, dear,
As they step lightly.O what are they doing with all that gear,
What are they doing this morning, this morning ?
Only the usual manoeuvres, dear,
Or perhaps a warning.
O what is that sound which so thrills the ear
Down in the valley drumming, drumming ?
Only the scarlet soldiers, dear,
The soldiers coming.O what is that light I see flashing so clear
Over the distance brightly, brightly ?
Only the sun on their weapons, dear,
As they step lightly.O what are they doing with all that gear,
What are they doing this morning, this morning ?
Only the usual manoeuvres, dear,
Or perhaps a warning.
O why have they left the road down there,
Why are they suddenly wheeling, wheeling ?
Perhaps a change in the orders, dear,
Why are you kneeling ?
Where is the ‘sound’ coming from ?
