Bert,

The version I learned goes:

The Battle Cry of Freedom

The boy stood on the railwy track
The engine gave a squeal

Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom

The driver took an oily rag
and wiped him off the wheel.

Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom

And it's Hurrah! for Mary
Hurrah! for the Lamb
Hurrah! for the little boy
Who didn't care a little bit
And everywhere that Mary went
The Lamb was sure to go
Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom

When the kitchen boiler burst
Father merely sat and cursed

Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom

Whilst mother with a show of feeling
Scraped the housmaid off the ceiling

Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom

Mummy what's that in the road
That looks like strawberry jam

Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom

Hush that's just your Father
Been Run over by a tram.

Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom

Billy in his brand new sashes
Fell in the fire and was burned to ashes

Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom

But now although the room gets chilly
We haven't the heart to poke poor Billy

Shouting out the Battle Cry of Freedom
