On the occasion of the Timaru "V olnntcers taking the town of Temuka. ■ ■ 1 [Air —“ Mulligan Guards.”] "Wo crave your kind attention, And wo’ll tell you what ire know, Of marching in the T.lv.Y.’s From Temuka town below : . Our Captain’s name is Young, hoys, And though we’ve lost tho day, We’ll try our luck again, boys, If ho will lead the way. CHORUS. Then shoulder arms, and march and march away, From Temuka town away down to Tim am Bay, With drums and fifes, how sweetly « they will play, As we march, march, march in the T.R.Y.’s. They may talk about the Bumkins And what they’ll do to them, They’ll find that we will fight like Turks And die to the very last man ; They’ll find we’re made of good stuff, And nob so easily beat, If he will but lead us on again Wo are sure not to retreat. Then shoulder arms, &o. WoTl show- the Timaru Bluccoats That wc’vs tried to win the day ; If it had not been just three to one We should never have given way. We have fought both brave and true, boys, And for our country’s cause, Then three cheers for our commander And for our Volunteers. Then shoulder arms, &c, 11. T. CTixcm.
