Thread Name: Anti-war songs from WWI
Subject: Lyr Add: ON SUNDAY I WALK OUT WITH A SOLDIER
The following song was mentioned by Flewruby above as the source for the tune of "I Don't Want to Join the Army":
On Sunday I walk out with a soldier. On Monday I'm taken by a tar. On Tuesday I'm out With a baby Boy Scout; On Wednesday, with a Hussar.
On Thursday I gang oot with a Kiltie. On Friday, the captain of the crew. But on Saturday I'm willing, If you'll only take a shilling, To make a man of any one of you.
A couple of other books say the title is "On Sunday I Walk Out with a Soldier" and that it was sung by Gwendolen Brogden in the Palace Theatre revue "The Passing Show" in 1914.
On Sunday I walk out with a soldier. On Monday a sailor for a pard. On Tuesday of course With a B.C. Horse; On Wednesday, a Home Guard.
On Thursday I gang oot wi' a Kiltie. On Friday, a Fusilier or two. But as you've all been willing, It didn't need a shilling, To make a man of every one of you.
