"ONE OF THE BOYS WHO WENT"
Say, Mate, don't you figure it's great To think, when the war is all over, And we're thro' with the mud— And the spilling of blood, And we're shipped back again to old Dover; When they've paid us our tin And we've blown the lot in, And our very last penny is spent, We'll still have a thought, if that's all we've got: Well, I'm one of the boys who went.
Perhaps, later on, when the wild days are gone And you're settling down for life— You've a girl in your eye, you'll ask bye and bye To share up with you as your wife— Then, when a few years have flown And you've got "chicks" of your own And you're happy, and snug, and content, Man, it will make your heart glad When they boast of their Dad— My Dad—He was one of the boys who went.
