GUEST,Chris Nixon Lyr Req: Rogues' March (20) Rogues' March 16 Apr 01

The Rogues' March was a tune used by the British Army to accompany a man being marched to punishment - usually a flogging or worse from Napoleonic times (who says we lack poetry?). But there evolved a song to go with it of which I have one verse:

Twenty I got for selling my shirt,
Twenty I got for selling my blanket,
If ever I list for a soldier again
The Devil shall be my sergeant.

Poor old soldier, poor old soldier,
If ever....

Has any of you good people got the rest of the verses?
Thanks,
Chris.
