Banjo Paterson - There`s Another Blessed Horse Fell Down
Work rating: Low

When you`re lying in your hammock, sleeping soft and sleeping sound,
Without a care or trouble on your mind,
And there`s nothing to disturb you but the engines going round,
And you`re dreaming of the girl you left behind;
In the middle of your joys you`ll be wakened by a noise
And a clatter on the deck above your crown,
And you`ll head the corporal shout as he turns the picket out,
"There`s another blessed horse fell down."

You can see `em in the morning, when you`re cleaning out the stall,
A-leaning on the railings nearly dead,
And you reckon by the evening they`ll be pretty sure to fall;
And you curse them as you tumble into bed.
Oh, you`ll hear it pretty soon, "Pass the word for Denny Moon,
There`s a horse here throwing handsprings like a clown;"
And it`s shove the others back, or he`ll cripple half the pack;
"There`s another blessed horse fell down."

And when the war is over and the fighting is all done,
And you`re all at home with medals on your chest,
And you`ve learnt to sleep so soundly that the firing of a gun
At your bedside wouldn`t rob you of your rest;
As you lay in slumber deep, if your wife walks in her sleep,
And tumbles down the stairs and breaks her crown,
Oh, it won`t awaken you, for you`ll say, "It`s nothing new,
It`s another blessed horse fell down."
