BALLADS OF BATTLE
And when the war is over—
The war we mean to win—
And Kaiser Bill
Has had his pill,
And we boys march thro' Berlin;
"Unter den Linden" going,
We'll need no pipes to blow—
Just Jimmy Morgan
And his old mouth-organ,
Leading us as we go!
—"Highland laddie, Highland laddie; whar hae you been a' the day?"[1]

And when this life is ended,
And Morgan gone aloft,
He will not carp
Tho' he get no harp,
Nor trumpet sweet and soft;
But if there be a place for him
In the Angelic choir,
Give Jimmy Morgan
His old mouth-organ,
And he'll play and never tire.
