Poor Old Soldier - The Rogue's March I left my home and I left my job Went and joined the army If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have been so barmy. Poor old soldier, poor old soldier If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have been so barmy. Gave me a gun and a big red coat Gave me lots of drilling If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have took the shilling. Chorus: Sent me off on a real old boat By Christ she was no beauty Far far across the sea we went Afore to do my duty Chorus: Fought the Russians, or was it the French Really couldn't tell, sir All I know is they fought so hard They sent us all to hell, sir. Chorus: When we got back home again To desert was my intent, sir I sold my cot and I sold my coat And over the wall I went, sir. Chorus: Went to a tavern and I got drunk That is where they found me Back to barracks in chains I was sent And there they did impound me. Chorus: Fifty I got for selling me coat Fifty for me blankets If ever I 'list for a soldier again The devil shall be me sergeant. Chorus:
