O Noble England

Lyrics

Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Once more onto the pitch dear friends once more
 to raise up these walls with our English cheer.
 When the whistle blast blows in our ears
 then imitate the ashen of the tiger
 stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood
 disguise fair nature with hard favoured force
 Then lend the eye a skillful aspect
 Set the teeth, oh gentle men in England
 bend up every spirit to its full height
 On, on you noble English
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Those men of grosser blood, teach them how to play
 you good players whose limbs were made in England
 Show us here the mettle of your footwork
 Let us swear that you are worth your breeding
 I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips
 Straining upon the start, the game's afoot
 Follow your spirit upon this charge
 Cry God and win for England and St George
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
 Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen
