C D G D For the sons of the merchants to join the blue fatigues (?) C D G G/F# Em So all hands enlisted, 500 young men C D G Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florazel (?) On the sands of Suva (?) they entered into hell And on those bloody beaches the first of them fell Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me And it's over the mountains and over the sea Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the blue fatigues (?) We'll fight the Hun in Flanders and at Gallipoli Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me The call came from London for the last July drive Have the trenches with the regiments prepare themselves to die The roll call next morning, just handful survived Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me Chorus The stone and the water streaks still cry for the day When the pride of the city went marching away A thousand men slaughtered to hear the King say Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me Chorus (x2 - second time, no guitar on first two lines) Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me G until fade out http://www.angelfire.com/mi/Grenfell/guitar.html --------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics - Recruiting Sergeant - Bob Hallett - Great Big Sea --------------------------------------------------------------- Two recruiting sergeants came to the CLB, for the sons of the merchants, to join the Blue Puttees So all the hands enlisted, five hundred young men... Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florizel, And on the sands of Suvla, they entered into hell And on those bloody beaches, the first of them fell... Chorus: So it's over the mountains, and over the sea Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees You'll fight in Flanders, and at Galipoli Enlist... Then the call came from London, for the last July drive To the trenches with the regiment, prepare yourselves to die The roll call next morning, just a handful survived. Enlist... Chorus The stone men on Water Street still cry for the day When the pride of the city went marching away A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the King say Enlist... Chorus x 3
