percy grainger – danny deever lyrics
“what are the bugles blowin’ for?” said files+on+parade
“to turn you out, to turn you out”, the colour+sergeant said
“what makes you look so white, so white?” said files+on+parade
“i’m dreadin’ what i’ve got to watch”, the colour+sergeant said
for they’re hangin’ danny deever, you can hear the dead march play
the regiment’s in ‘ollow square ++ they’re hangin’ him to+day;
they’ve taken of his b+ttons off an’ cut his stripes away
an’ they’re hangin’ danny deever in the mornin’
“what makes the rear+rank breathе so ‘ard?” said files+on+parade
“it’s bitter cold, it’s bittеr cold”, the colour+sergeant said
“what makes that front+rank man fall down?” said files+on+parade
“a touch o’ sun, a touch o’ sun”, the colour+sergeant said
they are hangin’ danny deever, they are marchin’ of ‘im round
they ‘ave ‘alted danny deever by ‘is coffin on the ground;
an’ ‘e’ll swing in ‘arf a minute for a sneakin’ shootin’ hound ++
o they’re hangin’ danny deever in the mornin’!
“‘is cot was right+’and cot to mine”, said files+on+parade
“‘e’s sleepin’ out an’ far to+night”, the colour+sergeant said
“i’ve drunk ‘is beer a score o’ times”, said files+on+parade
“‘e’s drinkin’ bitter beer alone”, the colour+sergeant said
they are hangin’ danny deever, you must mark ‘im to ‘is place
for ‘e shot a comrade sleepin’ ++ you must look ‘im in the face;
nine ‘undred of ‘is county an’ the regiment’s disgrace
while they’re hangin’ danny deever in the mornin’
“what’s that so black agin’ the sun?” said files+on+parade
“it’s danny fightin’ ‘ard for life”, the colour+sergeant said
“what’s that that whimpers over’ead?” said files+on+parade
“it’s danny’s soul that’s passin’ now”, the colour+sergeant said
for they’re done with danny deever, you can ‘ear the quickstep play
the regiment’s in column, an’ they’re marchin’ us away;
ho! the young recruits are shakin’, an’ they’ll want their beer to+day
after hangin’ danny deever in the mornin’
