I. BOys sound the Trumpet, beat the Drum, the Summer is drawing on a main, King William (the glory of Christendom ) is over in Flanders once again; Whose Courage and Conduct is well known, his Enemies they may dread his Power, For he has an Army now of his own, which soon will make proud Lewis scower; Sound Boys, sound Boys, Tan-ta-ra-ra-ra-ra, this is the Musick sweet of Flanders, While our King, in the Flourishing Spring, does head his Troops and brave Commanders. II. Kind Neptune he wafted him over in love, and Landed him safe at the Holland Hague , That like a Heroe now he may prove, to Lewis of France a perpetual plague, The Cannons was roaring, and Bells did ring, in token how dearly they adore him, All crying, Long live great William the King , and may he Conquer all before him ; Sound Boys , sound Boys , Tan-ta-ra-ra-ra-ra , this was the cry of chief Commanders , When he has Fought , put them all to the Rout , let him in Triumph Sail from Flanders. III. Stout Heroes of Fame, his glory proclaim, while he a Right Valiant Army doth lead, True Boys, that are bred to the Martial game, who never was fearful to Fight and Bleed, But up to the face of the Enemy ride, through Vollies of Shot, nay, smoak and fire, Still cutting and hewing on ev'ry side, untill they make the Foes retire; Sound Boys , sound Boys , Tan-ta-ra-ra-ra-ra , this is the cry of chief Commanders , King William he , let him gain Victory , and so return with Fame from Flanders.
IV. While flourishing Colours we display, like English souldiers, with shouts of Joy, We'll enter the Battel and Bloody fray, the troops of the Enemy to destroy; Nay Thundering Balls shall batter down, the Battlements high, and Pallizadoes King William shall conquer and gain renown, in spight of France and their Bravadoes, Sound Boys , sound Boys , Tan-ta-ra-ra-ra-ra , this is the cry of chief Commanders , King William he , let him gain Victory , and so return with Fame from Flanders. V. Last S ummer the French-men durst not face, K. Williams great Army stout and bold, Lest they should return home with disgrace, for why, he had Noble hearts of Gold, Yet now he will have full five for one, stout Lads that will fight for fame & treasure L et Lewis beware, they shake his Throne, and let him know their high displeasure; Sound Boys , sound Boys , Tan-ta-ra-ra-ra-ra , this is the cry of chief Commanders , King William he , let him gain Victory , and so Return with Fame from Flanders . VI. His Conquering Sword shall Tr[iumph a]gain, and L awrels his Royal Head shall Crown, While he does enjoy a flourishing Reign, the glory of France we'll trample down, Proud Lewis , brave boys, that Christian Turk, this S ummer we Reckon to bring under, Resolved we are to make sure work, and charge him home with Peals of thunder Sound Boys , sound Boys , Tan-ta-ra-ra-ra-ra , this is the cry of chief Commanders , King William he , let him gain Victory , and so Return with Fame from Flanders.
