We'll Take Beersheba
(Men we're going in)
(Use your bayonets and swords)
(We wish you the best of luck)
Forward we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Half a mile to the rise
We'll take the Turks by surprise
Keep the trot, hold the line
As we wait for the sign
Clear the brow of the hill, keep it steady until
We're in range of the guns
Then we'll break into a run
Forward we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Bayonets flash in the sun
Johnnies squint down their guns
Captain Davies gives a yell, we went at 'em like hell
Riders fall, horses run, empty saddles splashed with blood
Turkish trenches 50 yards
Squadron A lead the charge
Forward we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Slouch hat with plumes a flying
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
At full gallop, yelling madly
Pounding hooves go hell for leather
Flying horses, clear the trenches
Man and beast leap up and over
Man and beast leap up and over
Forward we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Slouch hat with plumes a flying
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
'Til we take Beersheba
'Til we take Beersheba
(Use your bayonets and swords)
(We wish you the best of luck)
Forward we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Half a mile to the rise
We'll take the Turks by surprise
Keep the trot, hold the line
As we wait for the sign
Clear the brow of the hill, keep it steady until
We're in range of the guns
Then we'll break into a run
Forward we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Bayonets flash in the sun
Johnnies squint down their guns
Captain Davies gives a yell, we went at 'em like hell
Riders fall, horses run, empty saddles splashed with blood
Turkish trenches 50 yards
Squadron A lead the charge
Forward we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Slouch hat with plumes a flying
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
At full gallop, yelling madly
Pounding hooves go hell for leather
Flying horses, clear the trenches
Man and beast leap up and over
Man and beast leap up and over
Forward we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Slouch hat with plumes a flying
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
'Til we take Beersheba
'Til we take Beersheba
