Going Down The Road

Lyrics

Going Down The Road We're going down the road in the morning We're gonna wait in line with a hundred nore We're going down the road in the morning Gonna join our pals going off to war We're gonna swear an oath in the morning Gonna swear an oath to our God and King Gonna swear an oath in the morning Gonna shout three cheers make the rafters ring We're gonna get a call in the morning Sarge is gonna drag us from our lazy beds We're gonna get a call in the morning Gonna give us a number, gonna shave our heads We're going for a run in the morning With our big boots on and a heavy sack We're going for a run in the morning With our rifle high it's gonna break our backs Three cheers for Lord Kitchener God save the King and Queen Let's hear it for the working man And everyone in between We're picking up our kit in the morning Getting on a train, gonna say goodbye We're picking up our kit in the morning Gonna leave the girls with a tearful eye We're going off to France in the morning Gonna stop the Hun in his evil tracks We're going off to France in the morning Gonna finish the job, gonna march right back
