1."Comrades, comrades!" Edmund cried,
And quickly closed his eyes of blue;
The charge of death, that murderous gun,
It laid him low at Waterloo.

2.When the battle rose, each warlike band,
Young Edmund bid his eyes adieu;"
Go tell my mother Edmund died,
The drummer boy of Waterloo."

3.All the night the battle hummed,
They dug his grave at Waterloo;
Oh, mother, mother," Edmund cried,
"Go tell my mother Edmund died."
