Air. - Blue Bonnets over the Border. MARCH ! MARCH ! Skirwith and Melmerby ! Gallant East Cumbrians march in good order; Blencairn and Hunsonby, Ousby and Glassonby; Stand for your tried and true Chief of the Border. Alston and Winskill, Kirkoswald and Gamblesby, Renwith and Brampton, and all the East Border, Come with your votes anew, stand for your champion true, As his fathers, of law and peace still the firm Warder. Come from the hills which the Helm wind is sweeping, Come from your vales lying verdant and low; Come as the becks down your fell-sides are leaping, Gathering their forces as onward they go. Sons of Fell-siders, who twice o'er old Crossfell Have flung on the breeze the brave Blue banner's fold, Still (your convictions free) pure laws and liberty Ever, like resolute Northmen uphold. MARCH ! MARCH ! Gallant East Cumbrians, Bring your free votes in full number and order, Follow for equity, Queen, laws, and liberty, While a true Howard shall lead on the Border. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
