dominic behan - the recruiting sergeant lyrics

[verse 1]
as i was goin’ down the street, feelin’ fine and larky_o
a recruitin’ sergeant said to me, “now you’d like fine in kharki_o!
the king he is need o’ men, come read his proclamation_o
a life in flanders for ya then, will be a fine vacation_o”

[verse 2]
“that may be so” says i to him, “but tell me, sergeant dearie_o
if i’d a pack stuck on me back do ya think i’d look fine and cheery_o?
you’d make me train and drill until ya had me one of french’s_o
it may be warm in flanders, but it’s draughty in the trenches_o”
[verse 3]
the sergeant swung his wee bit cane, his smile was most provoking_o
he twiddled and twiddled his wee moustache, says he “i know you’re joking_o
the sandbags are so nice and ‘igh, the wind you’d ne’er feel blowing_o”
but i winked at a cailín passin’ by, says i “what if it’s snowing_o?”

[verse 4]
“yet hail or rain or wind or snow, we’re not goin’ out to flanders_o
there’s fightin’ in dublin to be done, let your sergeants and commanders go
let englishmen for england fight, ’tis just about time they started_o”
i wished the sergeant a jolly good night, and there and then we parted_o
