Seven Nations - N.O.T. (I Want My People Back) Lyrics
The deaf old Duke he came to townasking all the men aroundis there any here who'd fight for me?the Czar in Russia wants the Dardonellesc'mon boys, let's give 'em hellin defense of Queen and our countrynot a sound was heard in the hallnot a hand was raisedjust one old man he got up to his feetand as the Duke turned away, he saidI want my people backI want them here with meI want my people back here with meCaptain Otter went to Skyeflags and banners flying highwith all the usual pageantryhe offered words and promisesto any man who would be ledto fight the Czar and tyrannyjust one sound was all that was heardacross the loneliest bayand as he made his way back againhe thought he heard the island sayshe saidI want my people backI want them here with meI want my people back here with meSix young men from the 93rdat Balaclava bravely heardColin Campbell's plea to stand their groundthey made their way back home againfar away from the battle dinto find their families weren't arounda tartan shroud was all that remainedacross their ruined houses layand as they came on back down from the hillsthe wind behind them wailed awayand it saidI want my people backI want them here with meI want my people back here with me
