Fight For Favour

I'll sing you a song how first we began

Our toils and our troubles our plot and our plan

We left our fair country, and all our friends and our

homes

Across to the deserts wild and the mountains to roll

We traveled three weeks 'til we came to the platt

Set up our camp ahead of the pack

In just a moment low we heard a faint yell

Five hundred cavalry they were riding from hell

[Chorus:]

We fight for favor

We will fight for pride

And oh we will fight for favor

We will fight 'til they die

They made a bold dash came near to our train

Bullets fell around like showers of rain

With long rifles at hand we fed them hot lead

'Til many a brave warrior fell down, and around us lay

dead

[Chorus]

We travel by day but guard in the night

Across all those mountains so high in their might

Now in a green valley we live beside a clear old stream

Our journey now ended, thank god, in the land of our

dreams

We fight for favor

We will fight for pride

And oh we will fight for favor

We will fight for our lives
