Subject: RE: The Kaiser and Uncle Sam
From the singing of J. E. Mainer on the album Fiddling With His Girl Susan comes the short song "Keep Peace With Uncle Sam."
KEEP PEACE WITH UNCLE SAM
(Arr. Uncle Jim O'Neal)
Kaiser said to a captain, let's go to the foreign land
We conquered old England and would play a win in mind
But we want to keep peace with Uncle Sam
The Kaiser said to his soldiers, "Now come on boys, let's go
We've conquered all of Europe, and the world'll be ours, you know
But we want keep peace with Uncle Sam"
Hindenburg said to the Kaiser, "You'd better get your gun"
Kaiser said to Hindenburg, "Just give me a route to run
I see the boys of Uncle Sam"
The Kaiser said to Woodrow, "I'll pay your billion back
But Woodrow said to the Kaiser "You'll have to ball the jack
For this is the guns of Uncle Sam"
