The Lost Cause
(Accompanied by tune of The Lost Chord)
Stand-ing one day
In the Front line,
Wa-ter up to
Our knees
Germans straffing light-ly
From the opposing trees
And scatter-ed hails of shrapnel
With mud that it put to flight -
Knock-ing the dugout roof-in
So the Sergeant was cold at night
Knocking the dugout roof in -
So the sergeant was cold at night.

"Drum Fire" was an artillery barrage fired not in salvo but by each gun in succession.
