"Marching"
"Marching"
Marching, marching,
On the old-time track;
Soldier song upon my lip,
Haversack upon my hip,
Pack upon my back;
Linton on my left hand,
On my right side Jack –
Marching, marching,
Steel swung at my thigh,
Who so gay as I?
(Left, Left!)
Marching, marching
On the same old track;
Sorrow gnawing at my heart,
Mem’ry piercing like a dart,
Care perched on my back;
Linton on my left hand –
But, alas! poor Jack!
Marching, marching,
Quietly does he lie,
Marching, marching,
Who so sad as I?
(Left left!)
