[Byford/Scarratt/Carter/Glockler]
You'd better sleep with your rifle
Keep your powder dry
You'll be fighting for your
country
See the colours fly
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You're the men from
Harloch
You'll be standing proud
You're the Queen's light infantry
Sing out loud
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You
gotta hold the line
You came for the glory
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes
When
stories are told
They died in the thin red line
In the thin red line
Stand steady in the ranks boys
You gotta hold your
fire
We'll show 'em what we're made of
When they hit the wire
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the
line
You'll be thinking of your loved ones
That you left back there
Then the sound of the bugle
Cuts the cool night
air
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You came for the glory
To fight and to die
You stood
in the thin red line
Remember the heroes
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line
In the thin red line
Now
you lay with your comrades
Far across the sea
Where you're fighting for the Empire
Did you die for me
They'll be coming in the
morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You'd better sleep with your rifle
Keep your powder dry
You'll be fighting for your
country
See the colours fly
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line
You came for the glory
To
fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes (remember the heroes)
When stories are told
They died in
the thin red line
You came for the glory (you came for the glory)
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red
line
Remember the heroes (remember the heroes)
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line
In the thin red line
