The Life Of A Bold Free Lance 1903 'Babette'

When we troopers ride in to a town
with chargers urged by the spur,
there's never a girl
but her head's in a whirl
as we laugh and leer at her,
we laugh and leer at her.
We fight the neighbors with clash of sabers
the peasants all dread our frown
and maids surrender to glances tender
when we ride in to town,
when we ride in to town.

Then trot trot troopers all
beauty's to be won.
draw your sword my gallant lord
flash 'em in the sun.
Then trot trot troopers all
casque and helmet glance
give a hip hurrah
and a three times three
for the life of a bold free lance,
give a hip hurrah
and a three times three
for the life of a bold free lance.

Then trot trot troopers all
beauty's to be won.
draw your sword my gallant lord
flash 'em in the sun.
Then trot trot troopers all
casque and helmet glance
give a hip hurrah
and a three times three
for the life of a bold free lance,
give a hip hurrah
and a three times three
for the life of a bold free lance.
