-4   6   6  -6* -6*   7*   7*
Why come ye hith-er, Red-coats
6-6*   7*    7*  -6* -6*    7*
Your minds, what mad-ness fills?
 -4   -4  6   6 -6* -6*  7*  7*
There is dan-ger in our val-ley
-8    -7     7* 7* -6* -6*   6
And there’s dan-ger in our hills
6-5* 5* 5*  5* -5*  6   -5*
Oh hear ye not the sing-ing

In our hands will prove no tri-fle

Oh, the ri-fle oh, the ri-fle
6  -6*   7*   6    -6*  -7  7*  6
In our hands will prove no tri-fle
