Song Of The Vagabonds 1925 'The Vagabond King'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 13 Apr 2005

Come all you Beggars of Paris town,
You lousy rabble of low degree,
you rabble of low degree!
We'll spare King Louis to keep his crown
and save our city from Burgundy,
Our city from Burgundy.
You and I are good for nothing but to die
we can die for Liberty.

Sons of toil and danger,
will you serve a stranger
and bow down to Burgundy?
Sons of shame and sorrow,
will you cheer tomorrow
for the crown of Burgundy?
Onward! Onward!
Swords against the foe
Forward! Forward the lily banners go!
Sons of France around us,
break the chain that bound us,
and to Hell with Burgundy!

Sons of toil and danger,
will you serve a stranger
and bow down to Burgundy?
Sons of shame and sorrow,
will you cheer tomorrow
for the crown of Burgundy?
Onward! Onward!
Swords against the foe
Forward! Forward the lily banners go!
Sons of France around us,
break the chain that bound us,
and to Hell with Burgundy!
