That Crazy War

歌詞

Now over there across the sea They've got another war But oh, I wonder if they know Just what they're fighting for In that war, that crazy war In Nineteen-Seventeen, you know, we helped Them win their fight But all we got was a lesson In what Shernman said was right In that war, that crazy war I was a simple country lad I lived down on the farm I'd never even killed a gnat Nor done a body harm Until that war, that crazy war One day the sheriff caught me Said "Come along, my son Your Uncle Sam is needing You to help him tote a gun In that war, that crazy war" They took me down to the courthouse My head was in a whirl And when the doctors passed on me I wished I'd been a girl In that war, that crazy war They took me out to the Rifle range to hear the bullets sing I shot and shot that whole day long And never hit a thing In that war, that crazy war The captain said to fire At will and I said who is he The old fool got so raving mad He fired his gun at me In that war, that crazy war When first we got to sunny France I looked around with glee But rain and kil-o-meters Was all that I could see In that war, that crazy war A cannonball flew overhead I started home right then The corporal he was after me But the general beat us in In that war, that crazy war And now we're back at home Again from over there in France The enemy lost the battle And we lost all our pants In that war, that crazy war I run all over Europe A-trying to save my life There will come another war I'll send my darling wife In that war, that crazy war Well, wars may come and wars may go But get this on your mind There will come another war I'll be hard to find In that war, that crazy war
