Soldiers Joy Fifteen cents for the morphine Twentyfive cents for the beer, fifteen cents for the morphine gonna get me out of here

I am my mother's darling boy 3X Sing a little song called Soldier's Joy Way back in the dark recesses of what used to be my memory, I remember hearing more verses. The lyrics were about maiming and death, it's a civil war song I believe. The original words to When Johnny Comes Marching Home are of a similar nature. Peace
