THE GERMAN IN HIS BLINDNESS
Tune—“Greenland’s icy mountains”
THE German in his blindness, He seeks his dug-out doorAs soon as our trench-mortars And guns begin to roar.He doesn’t wear equipment, His sentries aren’t about,And then up come the Seaforths And knock the Bosches out.
What though their roomy dug-outs Go down for half a mile,Where every prospect pleases And only Bosche is vile;Yet no one of their inmates Has been known to survive,
