AmThree years ago this very day we went to CGovernors GIsle For to Amstand against the cannon in true Gmilitary Emstyle AmSeventeen American dollars each Cmonth we'd surely Gget For to Amcarry a gun and a bayonet with Gregimental Amstep
AmWe had a choice of going to the Carmy or to Gjail Oh it's Amup the Hudson River with a Gcopper take a Emsail Oh we Ampuckered up our courage and with Cbravery we did Ggo Oh we cAmursed the day we went away with the GRegular Army AmO
There was CSergeant John McCaffery and Captain Donahue Oh they Ammade us march and toe the mark in Ggallant company Emque Well the Amdrums would roll upon me soul this Cis the style we Ggo Forty Ammiles a day on beans and hay in the GRegular Army AmO
We be Amdry as army herrings and as Chungry as a GTurk The Amboys along the street cry out G"soldier will you Emwork" We'd Amship into the Navy for to Cplow the raging Gseas But cold Amwater, sure, we couldn't endure. Twould Gnever agree with Amme
We'd Amjoin the politicians and we Cknow we'd be well Gfed Oh we Amsleep no more upon the ground but Gin a feather Embed And if a Amwar it should break out, they Ccall on us to Ggo We'll Amget Italian substitutes in the GRegular Army AmO
There was CSergeant John McCaffery and Captain Donahue Oh they Ammade us march and toe the mark in Ggallant company Emque Well the Amdrums would roll upon me soul this Cis the style we Ggo Forty Ammiles a day on beans and hay in the GRegular Army AmO
With Amcords upon our heels me boys and Cbunions on our Gtoes From Amlugging the gun in the red hot sun with Gfreckles on our Emnose AmEngland tells us grenediers, CFrance wears its zuG zus The AmUSA never changes they say but always Gwears the Amblues
When Amwe are out to pomperade our Cmuskets must be Gbright Or they'll Amslap us in the guardhouse to Gpass away the Emnight And Amwhen we want a furlough to the Ccolonel we do Ggo Go to Ambed and wait till you're dead in the GRegular Army AmO
There was CSergeant John McCaffery and Captain Donahue Oh they Ammade us march and toe the mark in Ggallant company Emque Well the Amdrums would roll upon me soul this Cis the style we Ggo Forty Ammiles a day on beans and hay in the GRegular Army AmO
There was CSergeant John McCaffery and Captain Donahue Oh they Ammade us march and toe the mark in Ggallant company Emque Well the Amdrums would roll upon me soul this Cis the style we Ggo Forty Ammiles a day on beans and hay in the GRegular Army AmO
