The time has scarce gone round boys, one hundred days ago,
When rebels on her Helena's walls, their faces dare not show,
When Joseph and all his rebel band came up to Helena’s gate,
With heart and hand and sword and shield, we forced them to retreat,
We'll fight and don't surrender, but come when duty calls,
With heart and hand and sword and shield, we'll guard fort Loches's walls,
When blood did flow in crimson streams, through many a winter’s night,
They knew the lord was on their side, to help them win their fight,
They nobly stood upon those walls, determined for to fight,
To fight and gain the victory and raise the dragon high,
They'll fight and don't surrender, but come when duty calls,
With heart and hand and sword and shield, we'll guard fort Loches's walls,
At last, at last, with one broadside, kind heavens sent their aid,
The boom that crossed the river was broke, and Joseph he was dismayed,
The banner boys, that floated, was run aloft with joy,
God bless the hands that broke the boom, and saved the renatian boys,
They'll fight and don't surrender, but come when duty calls,
With heart and hand and sword and shield, we'll guard fort Loches's walls.
