Men, we're going in
Use your bayonets and swords
I wish you the best of luck
Forward, we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Half a mile to the rise, we'll take the Turks by surprise
Keep the trot, hold the line, as we wait for the sign
Clear the brow of the hill, keep it steady until
We're in range of the guns, then we'll break into a run
Forward, we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Bayonets flash in the sun, Johnnys squint down their guns
Captain Davies gives a yell, "We went at 'em like hell"
Riders fall, horses run, empty saddles splashed with blood
Turkish trenches 50 yards, Squadron A lead the charge
Forward, we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Slouch hat with plumes a-flying
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba (charge!)
At full gallop, yelling madly
Pounding hooves go hell for leather
Flying horses, clear the trenches
Man and beast leap up and over
Man and beast leap up and over
Forward, we'll take Beersheba
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
Slouch hat with plumes a-flying
Spur up and on light horsemen
Ride on through dust and bullets
'Til we take Beersheba
'Til we take Beersheba
'Til we take Beersheba
