style in the A |
rmy. |
I joined my corps when twenty-one,
Of course I thought it capital fun;
When the enemy comes of course I run,
For I'm not cut out for the Army.
When I left home, mamma she cried,
Mamma she cried, mamma she cried,
When I left home, mamma she cried,
"He's not cut out for the Army."
The first time I went out for drill
The bugler sounding made me ill,
Of the battlefield I'd had my fill
For I'm not cut out for the Army.
The officers they all did shout,
They all did shout, they all did shout,
The officers they all did shout,
"Why, kick him out of the Army!"
