Stan Ridgway - Cannon Song слова песни
John was all present and jim was all thereAnd georgie was up for promotionNot that the army gave a bugger who they wereWhen confronting some heathen commotionChorus:The troops live underThe cannons thunderFrom sind to cooch beharMoving from place to placeWhen they come face to faceWith a different breed of fellowWhose skins are black or yellowThey quick as winking chop him intoBeefsteak tartarJohnny found his whiskey too warmAnd jimmy found the weather too balmyBut georgie took them both by the armAnd said "dont ever disappoint the army!"Chorus repeatJohn is a write-off and jimmy is deadAnd georgie was shot for lootingAnd young mens blood goes on being redAnd the army still goes on ahead recruitingChorus repeat
