Queen And Country |
The wind is on the river and the tide has turned too late |
So we’re sailing for another shore where some other ladies wait |
To throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains |
But we all laugh so politely and we sail on just the same |
For Queen and Country in the long dying day |
And it’s been this way for five long years, since we signed our souls away |
We bring back gold and ivory; |
rings of diamonds; |
strings of pearls |
Make presents to the government so they can have their social whirl |
With Queen and Country in the long dying day |
And it’s been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away |
They build schools and they build factories with the spoils of battles won |
And we remain their pretty sailor boys hold our heads up to the gun |
Of Queen and Country in the long dying day |
And it’s been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away |
To Queen and Country in the long dying day |
And it’s been this way for five long years since we signed our souls away |
