Cannon song 歌词

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 The troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sind to Cooch Behar when they come face to face moving from place to place 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 "Don't ever disappoint the army" The troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sind to Cooch Behar when they come face to face moving from place to place With a different breed of fellow whose skins are black or yellow They quick as winking chop him into beefsteak tartar John is a write-off and Jimmy is dead and Georgie was shot for looting And young men's blood goes on being red and the army still goes on ahead recruiting The troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sind to Cooch Behar when they come face to face moving from place to place With a different breed of fellow whose skins are black or yellow They quick as winking chop him into beefsteak tartar
