A butcher, yes that was my trade, but the King's shilling is now my fee,
A butcher I may as well have stayed, for the slaughter that I see,
And the preacher, in his pulpit, sermoned,"Go & fight! Do what is right!"
But he don't have to hear these guns, & I'll bet he sleeps at night!
My arms won't stop shaking, my mind won't stop shaking,
And I have seen a friend of mine hang on the wire, like some rag toy,
Then, in the heat, the flies come down, and cover up the boy,
And the flies come down in Gommecourt,
Thiepval, Mametz Wood and French Ver-dun,
If the preacher he could see those flies,
Wouldn't preach for the sound of guns!
My arms won't stop shaking, my mind won't stop shaking,
