The re-birth of a Regiment
Is nothing new to us
We have come and gone before
And never made a fuss
They have even changed our name
Made the Regiment large and small
But they can never ever erase
The Rifleman’s spirit
That lives within us all
Now we are called the Rifles
What’s in this special name
The Buglers call to battle
Is sounded just the same
It is our fighting spirit
And those glorious days of old
The Regiments name may have gone
But not the, “Swift and Bold”.
