C | |
Mc | Kinley called for volunteers, |
Then I got my gun,
F | |
First | Spaniard I saw coming |
C | |
I dropped my gun and | run, |
G7 | C | |
It was | all about that Battleship of | Maine. |
Chorus:
C |
At war with that great nation Spain, |
When I get back to Spain I want to honor my name,
G7 | C | |
It was | all about that Battleship of | Maine. |
Why are you running,
Are you afraid to die,
The reason that I'm running
Is because I cannot fly,
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
The blood was a-running
And I was running too,
I give my feet good exercise,
I had nothing else to do,
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
When they were a-chasing me,
I fell down on my knees,
First thing I cast my eyes upon
Was a great big pot of peas,
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
The peas they were greasy,
The meat it was fat,
The boys was fighting Spaniards
While I was fighting that,
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
