lyrics

Once upon a thrill walking upon the hill

I saw the army come marching to a drum

Coming one by one and two by two

We've got a lot to do Put on your polished shoes

Make yourself look fine pretty yourself in time

For we've to run to town to see them come



The cavalry is coming quick on Stallions six by six

Leaving dust behind the cloud had left me blind

The day forever in my avid mind

The general passes by a flag held proud and high

A scabbard on his belt his sword I swore I felt

He touched it upon my head with a smile



The infantry is coming down on the path to town

One thousand in the line marching double time

To reach their camp by dusk and rest awhile

Oh what a wondrous life I hear the drum and fife

A bugle strong and loud the heavenliest sound

Their footsteps stomp the ground in perfect time



I walk down the road

With nowhere planned to go

Everyone I know

Has told me lies

I never gave a damn

About a single one of them

If I tell that to myself

Makes it easier to go

I love them all so much
