Here's my transcription from the recording on YouTube:


DOWN UPON THE DUGOUT FLOOR
As sung by Coope, Boyes & Simpson

Battered down to the ground
    Down upon the dugout floor
Hear the whine crease the spine
    Take me to that other shore
    For I'm here in no man's land
    And the world is turned to sand
    Down upon the dugout floor

Young in years, old in fears
    Down upon the dugout floor
Trapped in time between the lines
    Take me to that other shore
    For I'm here in no man's land
    And the world is turned to sand
    Down upon the dugout floor

Oh can't you hear the mournful cry
We cannot do but only die
And here we sit and wonder why
You and I

Battered down to the ground
    Down upon the dugout floor
Hear the whine crease the spine
    Take me to that other shore
    For I'm here in no man's land
    And the world is turned to sand
    Down upon the dugout floor

My soul can never return home
On air or land or sea or foam
Condemned forever to roam
Lost and alone

Please don't go; I need to know
    Down upon the dugout floor
If part of me has set you free
    Take me to that other shore
    For I'm here in no man's land
    And the world is turned to sand
    Down upon the dugout floor
    Down upon the dugout floor
