operag@bridge.anglia.ac.uk (AndyG) Origins: Hangin' on the Old Barbed Wire (56* d) Hangin' on Old Barbed Wire^^ 09 Apr 97


Hi here's the verses I remember at the moment, I think the text's in Brophy & Partridge, so I'll check tonight and see if I can get more verses.

I believe this is an HTML text thingy so I hope the following tagged stuff reads properly.

If you want to find the Sergeant,
I know where he is,
I know where he is,
I know where he is.
If you want to find the Sergeant,
I know where he is,
He's drunk on the dug-out floor.

Ch.

I saw him,
I saw him,
Drunk on the Dug-out floor,
I saw him,
Drunk on the dug-out floor.

If you want to find the Captain
He's off on a seven-day leave

If you want to find the Colonel
He's pinning another medal on his chest

If you want the old battalion,
we know where they are,
we know where they are,
we know where they are.
If you want the old battalion,
we know where they are,
They're hangin' on the old barbed wire.

We've seen them,
We've seen them,
Hangin' on the old barbed wire,
We've seen them,
hangin' on the old barbed wire.
