Oh soldiers, I've concluded to make a little song,
Oh soldiers, I've concluded to make a little song,
And if I tell no falsehood there can be nothing wrong,
And if I tell no falsehood there can be nothing wrong,
If any be offended at what I have to sing,
If any be offended at what I have to sing,
Then surely his own conscience applies the bitter sting.
Then surely his own conscience applies the bitter sting.


Chorus:
Припев:


Oh, how do you like the Army
Oh, how do you like the Army
The brass-mounted Army,
The brass-mounted Army,
The high-falutin' Army,
The high-falutin' Army,
Where eagle buttons rule?
Where eagle buttons rule?


Whisky is a monster, and ruins great and small,
Whisky is a monster, and ruins great and small,
But in our noble Army, Headquarters gets it all;
But in our noble Army, Headquarters gets it all;
They drink it when there's danger, although it seems too hard,
They drink it when there's danger, although it seems too hard,
But if a private touches it, they put him "under guard."
But if a private touches it, they put him "under guard."


Chorus
хор


And when we meet the ladies, we're bound to go it sly,
And when we meet the ladies, we're bound to go it sly,
Headquarters are the pudding, and the privates are the pie!
Headquarters are the pudding, and the privates are the pie!
They issue standing orders to keep us all in line,
They issue standing orders to keep us all in line,
For if we had a showing, the brass would fail to shine.
For if we had a showing, the brass would fail to shine.


Chorus
хор


At every big plantation or negro-holder's yard,
At every big plantation or negro-holder's yard,
Just to save the property, the general puts a guard;
Just to save the property, the general puts a guard;
The sentry's then instructed to let no private pass -
The sentry's then instructed to let no private pass -
The rich man's house and table are fixed to suit the "brass."
The rich man's house and table are fixed to suit the "brass."


Chorus
хор


I have to change this story, so beautiful and true,
I have to change this story, so beautiful and true,
But the poor man and widow must have a line or two;
But the poor man and widow must have a line or two;
For them no guard is stationed, their fences oft are burned,
For them no guard is stationed, their fences oft are burned,
And property molested, as long ago you've learned.
And property molested, as long ago you've learned.


Chorus
хор


The Army's now much richer than when the war begun,
The Army's now much richer than when the war begun,
It furnishes three tables where once it had but one;
It furnishes three tables where once it had but one;
The first is richly loaded with chickens, goose, and duck,
The first is richly loaded with chickens, goose, and duck,
The rest with pork and mutton, the third with good old buck.
The rest with pork and mutton, the third with good old buck.


Chorus
хор


Our generals eat the poultry, and buy it very cheap,
Our generals eat the poultry, and buy it very cheap,
Our colonels and our majors devour the hog and sheep;
Our colonels and our majors devour the hog and sheep;
The privates are contented (except when they can steal),
The privates are contented (except when they can steal),
With beef and corn bread plenty to make a hearty meal.
With beef and corn bread plenty to make a hearty meal.


Chorus
хор


Sometimes we get so hungry that we're bound to press a pig,
Sometimes we get so hungry that we're bound to press a pig,
Then the largest stump in Dixie we're sure to have to dig
Then the largest stump in Dixie we're sure to have to dig
And when we fret, an officer who wears long-legged boots,
And when we fret, an officer who wears long-legged boots,
With neither judge nor jury, puts us on "double roots."
With neither judge nor jury, puts us on "double roots."


Chorus
хор


These things, and many others, are truly hard to me,
These things, and many others, are truly hard to me,
But still I'll be contented, and fight for Liberty!
But still I'll be contented, and fight for Liberty!
And when the war is over, oh what a jolly time!
And when the war is over, oh what a jolly time!
We'll be our own commanders and sing much sweeter rhymes.
We'll be our own commanders and sing much sweeter rhymes.


Chorus
хор


We'll see our loving sweethearts, and sometimes kiss them, too,
We'll see our loving sweethearts, and sometimes kiss them, too,
We'll eat the finest rations, and bid old buck adieu,
We'll eat the finest rations, and bid old buck adieu,
There'll be no generals with orders to compel,
There'll be no generals with orders to compel,
Long boots and eagle buttons, forever fare ye well!
Long boots and eagle buttons, forever fare ye well!


Final Chorus:
Final Chorus:


And thus we'll leave the Army,
And thus we'll leave the Army,
The brass-mounted Army,
The brass-mounted Army,
The high-falutin' Army,
The high-falutin' Army,
Where eagle buttons rule.
Where eagle buttons rule.
