Hark the drums how they beat
Isabelle!
To the tramping of feet
Isabelle
so dry your eyes, sweetheart,
don't cry,
wish me good luck and say goodbye,
There is work to be done, Isabelle
There's a fight to be won, Isabelle,
Into line I'll fall
when the bugles call:
"Hurry up! Come along! Come along!"

Farewell, Isabelle, Isabelle
Don't let it grieve you,
I've got to go!
Farewell, Isabelle, Isabelle,
I've got to leave you
to face the foe,
You know very well
Isabelle,
as the battle I go through
I shall do my best
when I'm in it to win it,
as I won you!

Farewell, Isabelle, Isabelle
Don't let it grieve you,
I've got to go!
Farewell, Isabelle, Isabelle,
I've got to leave you
to face the foe,
You know very well
Isabelle,
as the battle I go through
I shall do my best
when I'm in it to win it,
as I won you!

When I'm lonely at night,
Isabelle
by the camp fire so bright,
Isabelle
The vision of your loving smile,
will help to cheer me
all the while,
when the fighting is done,
Isabelle
to the beat of the drum,
Isabelle
I'll come back again
to the bugle strain:
"Hurry up! Come along! Come along!"

Farewell, Isabelle, Isabelle
Don't let it grieve you,
I've got to go!
Farewell, Isabelle, Isabelle,
I've got to leave you
to face the foe,
You know very well
Isabelle,
as the battle I go through
I shall do my best
when I'm in it to win it,
as I won you!

Farewell, Isabelle, Isabelle
Don't let it grieve you,
I've got to go!
Farewell, Isabelle, Isabelle,
I've got to leave you
to face the foe,
You know very well
Isabelle,
as the battle I go through
I shall do my best
when I'm in it to win it,
as I won you!
