SONG OF THE Q.M.C. TUNE The Old Gray Mare Oh, I don t have to fight like the Infantry, Fight like the Cavalry, Fight like Artillery. Oh, I don t have to fly over Germany, For I'm a Q.M.C., I'm a Q.M.C., I'm a Q.M.C. Oh, I don t have to fight like the Infantry, Fight like the Cavalry, Fight like Artillery. Oh, I don t have to fly over Germany, For I'm a Q.M.C. From "Ye A.E.F. Hymnal." This is from MUD AND STARS: AN ANTHOLOGY OF WORLD WAR SONGS AND POETRY, EDITED BY DOROTHEA YORK, 1931. Although the editor, Dorothea York, says the song is from Ye A.E.F. Hymnal, this variant doesn't appear in the 1919 edition quoted above.
