received a letter the other day which give me great satisfaction, it was
from a young lady near Ballynure and I think she a very funy girl and if I
ever be that road again I will call in to see how her and her sweet hearts
is getting on. Bound is the ring that has no end so is my love to you
my friend, our hearts and hands will gain together so will yours and mine
forever. My pen is bad my ink is the same and that is the reason I
don't write my name.
Back to the Army Again
I'm 'ere in a lousy ulster an' a broken billycock 'at, A layin' on to the
Sergeant I don't know a gun from a bat;
My shirt's doin' duty for jacket, my sock's stickin' out o' my boots, An'
I'm learnin' the damned old goose-step along o' the new recruits!
Back to the Army again, Sergeant, Back to the Army again: Don't look so
'ard, for I 'aven't no card, I'm back to the Army again!
I done my six years' service - 'Er Majesty sez:
"Good-day, - You'll please to come when you're rung for, an' 'ere's your
'ole back-pay;
An' now you can make your fortune - the same as your orf'cers do."
Back to the Army again, Sergeant, Back to the Army again; 'Ow did I learn to
do right-about turn? I'm back to the Army again!
A man o' four an' twenty that 'asn't learned of a
trade - Besides "Reserve" agin' him - 'e'd better be never made.
I tried my luck for a quarter, an' that was enough for me, An' I thought of
'Er Majesty's barricks, an' I thought I'd go an' see.
Back to the Army again, Sergeant, Back to the Army again: 'Oo would ha'
thought I could carry an' port? I'm back to the Army again!
The Sergeant arst no questions, but 'e winked the
other eye, An' sez to me, "'Shun," an' I shunted, the same as in days gone
by;
For 'e saw the set o' my shoulders, an' I couldn't 'elp 'oldin' straight,
When me 'an the other rookies come under the barrick gate.
Back to the Army again, Sergeant, Back to the Army again: 'Tisn't my fault
if I dress when I 'alt - I'm back to the Army again!
I took my bath, an' I wallered - an'. Gawd, I needed
it so! I smelt the smell o' the barricks, I 'eard the bugles go.
I 'eard the feet on the gravel - the feet o' the men what drill, - An' I sez
to my flutterin' 'eart-strings, I sez to 'em, "Peace, be still!"
Back to the Army again, Sergeant, Back to the Army again: 'Oo said I knew
when the Jumner was due? I'm back to the Army again!
I carried my slops to the tailor; I sez to 'im, "None
o' your lip, You tight 'em over the shoulders an' loose 'em over the 'ip,
For the set o' the tunic's 'orrid; an' 'e sez to me, "Strike me dead, But I
thought you was only a rookie!" an' so 'e done what I said.
Back to the Army again, Sergeant, Back to the Army again: Rather too free
with my fancies! - Wot? Me! I'm back to the Army again!
Next week I'll 'ave 'em fitted, I'll buy me a
walkin'-cane; They'll let me free o' the barricks to walk on the Hoe again,
In the name o' William Parsons that used to be Edward Clay, An' - any pore
beggar that wants it can draw my fourpence a day!
Back to the Army again, Sergeant, Back to the Army again: Out o' the cold
an' the rain, Out o' the cold an' the rain.
'Oo's there! A man that's too good to be lost you, A
man that is 'andled an' made -
A man that will pay what 'e cost you In learnin' the others their trade -
parade!
You're droppin' the pick o' the Army, Because you
don't 'elp 'em remain,
But drives 'em to cheat to get out c' the street, An' back to the Army
again!
Rudyard Kipling
