He cares not a marneday how the world goes, His King finds his quarters and money and clothes. He laughs at all sorrow whenever it comes, And rattles away with a rol of his drum! cho: With a row de dow, row de dow, row de dow, dow And rattles away with a roll of his drum. The drum is his glory, his joy, his delight It leads him to pleasure as well as to fight; No girl, when she hears it, though ever so glum But packs up her tatters and follows the drum. cho: With a row de dow, row de dow, row de dow, dow But packs up her tatters and follows the drum. *short for bumbailiffs; bailiffs used in arrests.
