Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bugle Calls
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bugle Calls
I may have posted this on a different thread. The old "Rogue's March" in the U.S. Army was
Poor old soldier ! Poor old soldier !
He'll be tarred and feathered and sent to hell,
Because he would not soldier well.
Not a bugle call, but some kind of brief "march" from World War I or earlier,
You're in the army now !
You're not behind the plow !
You son of a bitch,
You'll never get rich !
You're in the army now !
It must have a genuine title, but I don't know what it is. That's the only verse I've ever heard.
