Who's gonna blow the bugles
And give the battle cry?
Who's gonna fire the gatling gun
And who's gonna bravely die?

Who's gonna be the bold?
Who's gonna bathe in pools of blood
And sleep out in the cold?

Who's that with the blisters
On their feet and mouth?
Not them politicians
In the north and in the south

Who's that in the moonlight
Talkin' to his pa?
Who's that in the bushes
Tradin' coffee for a chaw?

And who's a-gonna run the stills?

Who's gonna court the ladies
And buy their wedding bands?
Who's gonna shoe their pretty little feet
And glove their pretty little hands?

Who's gonna see that we don't ever
Fight ourselves again?
