Said the soldier to the Surgeon, "I've got noises in me head br And a kind o' filled up feeling after every time I'm fed; br I can sleep all night on picket, but I can't sleep in my bed". br And the Surgeon said, br "That's Lead!" br Said the soldier to the Surgeon, "Do you think they'll send me back? br For I really ain't adapted to be carrying a pack br Though I've humped a case of whisky half a mile upon my back". br And the Surgeon said, br "That's Lead!" br br "And my legs have swelled up cruel, I can hardly walk at all, br Bur when the Taubes come over you should see me start to crawl; br When we're sprinting for the dugout, I can easy beat 'em all".
