HIGH WOOD TO WATERLOT FARM
Tune—‘‘Chalk Farm to Camberwell Green”
THERE is a wood at the top of a hill,
If it’s not shifted it’s standing there still;
There is a farm a short distance away,
But I’d not advise you to go there by day,
For the snipers abound, and the shells are not rare,
And a man’s only chance is to run like a hare,
So take my advice if you’re chancing your arm
From High Wood to Waterlot Farm.

So take my advice if you’re chancing your arm
From High Wood to Waterlot Farm.
Chorus—High Wood to Waterlot Farm,
Chorus—All on a summer’s day,
Chorus—Up you get to the top of the trench
Chorus—Though you’re sniped at all the way.
Chorus—If you’ve got a smoke helmet there
Chorus—You’d best put it on if you could,
Chorus—For the wood down by Waterlot Farm
Chorus—Is a bloody high wood.
