Those heroes of antiquity ne'er saw a cannon ball,Or knew the force of powder to slay their foes withal.But our brave boys do know it, and banish all their fears,With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the Dianian Grenadiers.
Whene'er we are commanded to storm the palisades,Our leaders march with fusees, and we with hand grenades.We throw them from the glacis, about the enemies' ears.[n 1]With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, the Dianan Grenadiers.
And when the siege is over, we to the town repair.The townsmen cry, "Hurrah, boys, here comes a Grenadier!Here come the Grenadiers, my boys, who know no doubts or fears!Then sing tow, row, row, row, row, row, the Dianian Grenadiers.
Then let us fill a bumper, and drink a health of thoseWho carry caps and pouches, and wear the loupèd clothes.May they and their commanders live happy all their years.With a tow, row, row, row, row, row, for the Dianan Grenadiers.
