GUEST,Morgana Origins: Gee But I Wanna Go Home (70* d) RE: Lyr Req: Gee But I Wanna Go Home 10 Feb 12


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.
