Florian Geyer

An English version of a German song Lyrics: Troops of Geyer clad in black are we Heia o-ho And we will stamp out tyranny Heia o-ho Spearmen ho! Forward go! On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow Spearmen ho! Forward go! On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow When Adam dug and Eve did toil Heia o-ho No princes trespassed on their soil Heia o-ho Spearmen ho! Forward go! On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow Spearmen ho! Forward go! On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow Bold Geyer&men their arrows shoot The knights are laid low His banner bears a peasant&boot To stamp out the foe The noble&only God is pride Heia o-ho The Holy Scripture is our guide Heia o-ho Spearmen ho! Forward go! On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow Spearmen ho! Forward go! On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow We&beaten though our cause is right Heia o-ho Our sons will carry on the fight Heia o-ho Spearmen ho! Forward go! On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow Spearmen ho! Forward go! On the castle roof let the Red Cock crow
