Marshall Rileys Army Lyrics

In October '36 they took a trip
The men who made the ships
Searching for some kind of salvation
With head held high and dignified
The townsfolk and the passers by
Held them in some kind of admiration
horus
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights you've surely earned them
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you've taught us, who has learned them?
Soldiers in the frontline
Of the struggle for the right to work
Did god give me these hands just to be idle?
While his holiness the Bishop
With his infinite Christian wisdom
Like Peter when the cock crew, had denied them
horus
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights you've surely earned them
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you've taught us, who has learned them?
And the yes-men and the press-men
To London town all came down
Brought with them the curious and deranged
And forty years has since gone past
But you're still down there if you're working class
Can anybody tell me what has changed?
horus
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights you've surely earned them
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you've taught us, who has learned them?
horus
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights you've surely earned them
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you've taught us, who has learned them?
horus
(## fade to end ##)
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights you've surely earned them
March on__, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you've taught us, who has learned them?
