Cannon Song 歌詞

John was all present and jim was all there And georgie was up for promotion Not that the army gave a bugger who they were When confronting some heathen commotion Chorus: The troops live under The cannons thunder From sind to cooch behar Moving from place to place When they come face to face With a different breed of fellow Whose skins are black or yellow They quick as winking chop him into Beefsteak tartar Johnny found his whiskey too warm And jimmy found the weather too balmy But georgie took them both by the arm And said "dont ever disappoint the army!" Chorus repeat John is a write-off and jimmy is dead And georgie was shot for looting And young mens blood goes on being red And the army still goes on ahead recruiting Chorus repeat
