| 歌曲 | The King's Shilling |
| 歌手 | Karan Casey |
| Oh my love has left me with bairnes twa | |
| And that's the last of him I ever saw | |
| He's joined the army and marched to war | |
| He took the shilling | |
| He took the shilling and he’s off to war | |
| (Chorus:) | |
| Come laddies come, hear the cannons roar | |
| Take the King's shilling and you’re off to war | |
| Well did he look as he marched along | |
| With his kilt and sporran and his musket gun | |
| And the ladies tipped him as he marched along | |
| He sailed out by | |
| He sailed out by the Broomielaw | |
| The pipes did play as he marched along | |
| And the soldiers sang out a battle song | |
| "March on, march on," cried the Captain gay | |
| And for King and country | |
| For King and country we will fight today | |
| (Chorus) | |
| The battle rattled to the sound of guns | |
| And the bayonets flashed in the morning sun | |
| The drums did beat and the cannons roared | |
| And the shilling didn't seem | |
| The shilling didn't seem much worth the war | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Well the men they fought and the men did fall | |
| Cut down by bayonets and musket ball | |
| And many of these brave young men | |
| Would never fight for | |
| Would never fight for the King again | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Come laddies come, hear the cannons roar | |
| Take the King's shilling and you’ll die in war |
| Oh my love has left me with bairnes twa | |
| And that' s the last of him I ever saw | |
| He' s joined the army and marched to war | |
| He took the shilling | |
| He took the shilling and he' s off to war | |
| Chorus: | |
| Come laddies come, hear the cannons roar | |
| Take the King' s shilling and you' re off to war | |
| Well did he look as he marched along | |

| The pipes did play as he marched along | |
| And the soldiers sang out a battle song | |
