[Verse 1]~
  E                                A    E
Taking nothing but his daddy's old bone-grip knife

  Dbm           A              B        E
He traded but a little for the wayward life

So says the Rose of England

From high on a hill came the clarion call

To gain young men,.. come one,.. come all

Make muster 'gainst the foreign hand

That's raised to the Rose of England

E        A   E         E      B   E  (x2)

For her feckless boys she did weep and wail

Saying,.. Lord have mercy where did I fail..?

Out of my belly,..to pick up a gun

    E              A    B     E        D
And fall for the Rose of England

A               D        A
God knows it's a cold outside

It's a fire by day and a freeze at night

I know it's a hell out there

E                                       B
How loud the mouth when the heart don't care


[Verse 4]~
E                            A            E
He's damned if he don't,.. and damned if he do

      Dbm     A           B        E
He'd die if he ever found out we knew

Hot potato,.. drop it and run

    E       A        B     E
Far from the Rose of England

Far from the Rose of England
