Cannon Song Lyrics - Singles - Litfiba

John was all present and Jim was all there and Georgie was up for promotion 

Not that the Army gave a bugger who they were when confronting some heathen commotion 

The troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sind to Cooch Behar 

when they come face to face 

moving from place to place 

With a different breed of fellow whose skins are black or yellow 

They quick as winking chop him into beefsteak tartar 

Johnny found his whiskey too warm and Jimmy found the weather too balmy 

But Georgie took them both by the arm and said "Don't ever disappoint the army" 

The troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sind to Cooch Behar 

when they come face to face 

moving from place to place 

With a different breed of fellow whose skins are black or yellow 

They quick as winking chop him into beefsteak tartar 

John is a write-off and Jimmy is dead and Georgie was shot for looting 

And young men's blood goes on being red and the army still goes on ahead recruiting 

The troops live under the cannon's thunder from Sind to Cooch Behar 

when they come face to face 

moving from place to place 

With a different breed of fellow whose skins are black or yellow 

They quick as winking chop him into beefsteak tartar
