From the songbook "From Sea to Shining Sea": The biscuits in the army, they say are mighty fine. One fell off the table, and crushed a pal of mine. I don't want no more of army life. Gee Ma, I wanna go home. The coffee that they give you,they say is mighty fine. It's good for cuts and bruises; it tastes like turpentine. I don't want no more of army life. Gee Ma, I wanna go home. The uniforms they give you, they say are mighty fine. Me and half my regiment can fit in all of mine. I don't want no more of army life. Gee Ma, I wanna go home. They wages that they pay you, they say are might fine. They give you fifty dollars and they take back sixty-nine. I don't want no more of army life. Gee Ma, I wanna go home.
