We'll Take Beersheba

(album: Spirit Of The Anzacs - 2015)

Forward
We'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on Light Horsemen
Ride on through dust ad bullets
Til we take Beersheba

Half a mile to the rise
We'll take the Turks by surprise
Keep the trot
Hold the lines
As we wait for the sign
Clear the brow
Of the hill
Keep it steady until
We're in range
Of the guns
And then we'll break into a run

Forward
We'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on Light Horsemen
Ride on through dust ad bullets
Til we take Beersheba

Bayonnets flash
In the sun
Johnny's squint
Down their guns
Captain Davies
Gives a yell
We went at them like hell
Riders fall
Horses run
Empty saddles
Splashed with blood
Turkish trenches
Fifty yards
Squadron A led the charge

Forward
We'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on Light Horsemen
Ride on through dust ad bullets
Til we take Beersheba

Slouch hat with plumes a flying
Spur up and on Light Horsemen
Ride on through dust ad 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 ad bullets
Til we take Beersheba

Slouch hat with plumes a flying
Spur up and on Light Horsemen
Ride on through dust ad bullets
Til we take Beersheba

Til we take Beersheba
Til we take Beersheba
