Time upon time, the sepoys struck their blows,
Time upon time, the sepoys struck their blows,Digging in about them, the white warriors fought well.
Digging in about them, the white warriors fought well.On their feet they wore boots, on their bodies" kilts.
On their feet they wore boots, on their bodies" kilts.Tassels of silk on their hats and trembling aigrettes
Tassels of silk on their hats and trembling aigrettesThe white warriors went into battle like elephants on heat
The white warriors went into battle like elephants on heatWith no fear of death, they set their faces to the front.
With no fear of death, they set their faces to the front.Indian song about Sir Colin Campbell"s relief of Lucknow, 1857
