Banjo Paterson - Swingin` the LeadBanjo Paterson - Swingin` the Lead
Work rating: Low


Said the soldier to the Surgeon, "I`ve got noises in me head And a kind o` filled up feeling after every time I`m fed; I can sleep all night on picket, but I can`t sleep in my bed". And the Surgeon said, "That`s Lead!" Said the soldier to the Surgeon, "Do you think they`ll send me back? For I really ain`t adapted to be carrying a pack Though I`ve humped a case of whisky half a mile upon my back". And the Surgeon said, "That`s Lead!" "And my legs have swelled up cruel, I can hardly walk at all, Bur when the Taubes come over you should see me start to crawl; When we`re sprinting for the dugout, I can easy beat `em all". And the Surgeon said, "That`s Lead!" So they sent him to the trenches where he landed safe and sound, And he drew his ammunition, just about two fifty round: "Oh Sergeant, what`s this heavy stuff I`ve got to hump around?" And the Sergeant said, "That`s Lead!"
