BALLADS OF BATTLE
Wire over'ead!—
Look out for the bridge!
Hear ole Sergeant grunt,
"Halt! you there in front!
They've lost touch at the ridge"—
I wish I was dead!
Look out for the bridge!
Hear ole Sergeant grunt,
"Halt! you there in front!
They've lost touch at the ridge"—
I wish I was dead!
Wire over'ead!
Wire underfoot!—
There's Tim come to grief—
Christ!—he's dumping the beef.
Pull 'im out by the root:
I wish I was dead—
(To home blokes are in bed)—
Wish Gawd I was dead!
(Stumbles and grumbles on.)
