Thanks, Barry I assume that's the same "Jack in the Green" that Grand Union Morris sing (well one of them, possibly Andrew) on their latest album.. the title of which I love "Can't Get The Buggers Out"... Good tape, well worth listening to, and if I had it to hand I'd post the URL for their site here, but I don't, so I won't.. I'd offer to do it tomorrow but I've a feeling Mary will beat me to it. And just out of interest, I've transcribed the lyrics to "Lousy War" as sung by Roy Harris (well I think it's him singing it).. here goes..
WHEN THIS LOUSY WAR IS OVER tune (What a friend we have in Jesus)
Chorus:- When this lousy war is over No more soldiering for me When I get my civvy clothes Oh how happy I shall be No more church parades on Sunday No more putting in for leave I will miss the sergeant-major How he'll miss me, how he'll grieve No more standing to in trenches Only one more church parade No more N.C.O.'s to curse us No more Tickler's marmalade chorus They all said when we enlisted Fame and medals we would win But the fame is in the guard room And those medals made of tin chorus Cheers Mick
