Hougoumont - Crystallion

I can’t see what is going n

On these fields here where I belong

Riders tell me what’s going on

Will we soon hear our victory song

Rumour has it they’re coming soon

My own brother has told me so

Oh Jerome onward you will go

While Grouchy drives the Prussians away

The splendour of France

I don’t fear Wellington

This battle will be won

We’ll prevail and his bad English troops we’ll defeat — today!

First attack shall be Hougoumont

Their reserves will be overrun

Later on we will separate

English troops from the Prussian ones

Now the house stands in flames

My battalions will tear down the walls

Seems like Wellington’s strong, won’t give in — we shall see

I don’t fear Wellington

This battle will be won

We’ll prevail and his bad English troops we’ll defeat — today!
