'A Marching Song of the New Model Army' is a song that refers to the roundhead cause during the 1st English Civil War (1642–1651). The New Model Army was a parliamentary force composed mainly of Roundheads, who were supporters of the Parliamentarians led by Oliver Cromwell. The song reflects the spirit and ideals of the New Model Army during this turbulent period in English history.



The Roundheads, in contrast to the Cavaliers and the Royalists, were known for their discipline, dedication, and strict military organization. The marching song conveys a sense of unity and purpose among the soldiers as they fought for Parliament against the monarchy.


While the historical origin of the song may not be known, it absolutely could have been from the actual 1640s, or just a modern composition. The New Model Army played a crucial role in the eventual victory of Parliament, leading to the establishment of the Commonwealth of England and the short lived abolition of the monarchy.
