The Marching Song of
Col. Matthew Elliott's Company
of His Majesty's British Indian Department





We're seldom seen in uniform
We often smell like smoke
Our officers are wise old men
Who know the Native folk

We're not impressed by guilded braid
Or powdered wigs on men
We're used to being sent away
And then called back again.

We go where others just won't go
We do what they won't do
We help our Native Allies teach
The Yanks a thing or two.

And when the gentlemen in red
They ask us who we be
We say we are His Majesty's
Indian Agency!
