GUEST,Charles Macfarlane	Origins: Hangin' on the Old Barbed Wire (56* d)	RE: Lyr Req: If you want to see the general	19 Aug 12
I learnt this via intermediaries from, I believe, originally Bob Davenport: These are the lyrics that I used to sing; If you want to find the Colonel I know where he is! I know where he is! I know where he is! If you want to find the Colonel I know where he is! He's pinning another medal on his chest (big chest)! I saw him! I saw him! Pinning another medal on his chest! I saw him! Pinning another medal on his chest! Captain In Paree (Paris) on seven day's leave! Quartermaster Drinkin' all the company's rum! Sergeant Drunk upon the dugout floor! Coporal Up to his neck in clods! Private Hanging on the old barbed wire! Brilliantly sarcastic and subversive song which is guaranteed to get any half-decent singing crowd belting it out in full voice!
