SNIPER SANDY
(Sergeant Alexander Macdonald, Killed in Action at Beaumont-Hamel, November 18th, 1916)
Tune—“Sister Susie sewing shirts for soldiers”
SANDY MAC the sniper is a-sniping from his loop-hole,With a telescopic rifle he is looking for a Hun.If he sees a sniper lurking, or a working-party working,At once he opens fire on them, and bags them every one.And when you come into our trench, by night-time or by day,We take you to his loop-hole, and we point to him and say—
Chorus—Chorus—“Sniper Sandy’s slaying Saxon soldiers,Chorus—And Saxon soldiers seldom show but Sandy slays a few,Chorus—And every day the Bosches put up little wooden crossesChorus—In the cemetery for Saxon soldiers Sniper Sandy slew.”
Now in the German trenches there’s a sniper they call Hermann,A stout and stolid Saxon with a healthy growth of beard,
