WATER v. BEER.
I suppose we’re a lot of heathens, Don’t live on the angol plan; But we’re sticking it in the trenches. And doing the best we can. While preachers ’way down under,Who rave on Kingdom come Ain’t pleased with our ability And want t° stop our rum. Water they say, would be better Water! (treat God! Out here We’re up to cur knees in water Do they think we’re standing in beer ?
Oh, it sounds all right in the pulpit, When yon sit in a cushioned pew, Hut try lour days in the trenches, And see what water will do.
