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
