There was a Wild Colonial Boy
Rescorla was his name
He was born and raised in Hale, Cornwall
Just east of ol' Lands End
He joined the British army
when a lad of just 16
Became a brave, young soldier then
As good as ever seen
He joined the US Calvary
To fight in Vietnam
And he killed the Cong at the la Drang
with bayonet and gun
He saved three thousand people when
when the terrorists struck home
But lost his life when he went back
to rescue seven more
So lift a cup to our dear friend
Remember him with joy
How dearly do his brethren love
That Wad Colonial Boy
