[Intro] March! The mud is cakin' good around our trousers Front! -Eyes front an' watch the Color-casins drip Front! The faces of the women in the houses Ain't the kind o' sight to take aboard the ship [Chorus] Cheer! We'll never march to victory Cheer! We'll never live to 'ear the cannon's roar! The large birds of prey They will carry us away An' you'll never see your soldiers anymore! [Verse 1] Wheel! Ah, keep your touch; we're goin' round a corner Time! -Mark time, an' let the men behind us close Lord! The transports full, and half our lot not on 'er- Cheer, o' cheer! We're going off where no-one knows [Chorus] Cheer! We'll never march to victory Cheer! We'll never live to hear the cannon roar! The large birds of prey They will carry us away You'll never see your soldiers anymore! [Verse 2] March! The Devil's none so black as 'e is painted! Cheer! We'll have some fun before we're put away 'Alt, an' hand 'er out- A woman's gone and fainted! Cheer! Get on- God help the married men today! [Chorus] Cheer! We'll never march to victory Cheer! We'll never live to hear the cannon roar! The large birds of prey They will carry us away You'll never see your soldiers anymore! [Verse 3] Hoi! Come up, you hungry beggars, to yer sorrow Hear them say they want their tea, an' want it quick! Ah- You won't have no mind for slingers, not tomorrow- No; You'll be put out the 'tween-decks, bein' sick! [Chorus] Cheer! We'll never march to victory Cheer! We'll never live to hear the cannon roar! The large birds of prey They will carry us away You'll never see your soldiers anymore! [Verse 4] 'Alt! The married kit 'as all to go before us- 'Course it's blocked the bleedin' gangway up again! Cheer, o' cheer the horse guards watchin' tender o'er us Keepin' us since eight this mornin' in the rain! [Chorus] Cheer! We'll never march to victory Cheer! We'll never live to hear the cannon roar! The large birds of prey They will carry us away You'll never see your soldiers anymore! [Verse 5] Stuck: In heavy marchin'-order, sopped and wringin'- Sick, before our time to watch her heave an' fall Here's your happy home at last, an' stop your singin' 'Alt! Fall in along the troop-deck! Silence all! [Outro] Cheer! For we'll never live to see no bloomin' victory! Cheer! An' we'll never live to hear the cannon roar! The jackal an' the kite Have a healthy appetite An' you'll never see your soldiers anymore! The eagle and the crow They are waitin' ever so You'll never see your soldiers anymore! Yes, the large birds o' prey They will carry us away You'll never see your soldiers anymore!
