We're taking a chance
Marching for France
Under the French Flag
We're convicts and theives
But if you please
We are heroes of the grave
France went to war
On the Barbary shore
To protect her southern coast
Her expedition failed
Her finances Pale
Her Army became a ghost
So the call went out
Without a doubt
Across the European land
Rot in your cells
Or fend for yourselves
And give France a hand
So we made a stand
On Algerian land
One unit under France
And when we were done
A new life had begun
We earned our second chance
