Drunken Doughboy Lyrics by Bad Things

0

Let's drink 'til the well runs dry
And all our sorrows go drifting by
It's the end of the summer
Yeah, here comes November
Watch those black clouds circle in the sky

And we sit by a fire on the edge of the river
And we watch those black birds circle in the sky
And I'm seeing you now
With the orange light around you
I toast the end of our fight

And back home
There waits my Ruby
No finer lass, could there be
She sits on our bed
Watching those leaves turn red
She dreams of seeing
Her drunken doughboy again

And we've trudged 'cross the fields of the dead
And from our necks red blood we have bled
But our soul burns inside
Our fear we must hide
So let's forget the war
Oh, let's forget the war
Free this fear from my head

So, it's three cheers Jack
We shot 'em in the back
We're alive and drinking
Not rotting or stinking
And I'd rather see you than those other two
Cold in the field out back
