Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHHICHJKL| Did you ever find out | A |
| Which one of the O'Brien boys it was | B |
| Who snapped the toy pistol against my hand | C |
| There when the flags were red and white | D |
| In the breeze and Bucky Estil | E |
| Was firing the cannon brought to Spoon River | F |
| From Vicksburg by Captain Harris | G |

| And the band was playing | H |
| To have it all spoiled | I |
| By a piece of a cap shot under the skin of my hand | C |
| And the boys all crowding about me saying | H |
| You'll die of lock jaw Charlie sure | J |
| Oh dear oh dear | K |
| What chum of mine could have done it | L |
