What's the use o' tellin'D

'Made 'is forty gallonD
Out of every caskI

Watch 'im with 'is 'air cutJ
Count us filin' byK

'Fore I made yer mineD

Escort to the kerridgeQ
Wish 'im luck the bruteO
Chuck the slippers afterA
Pity 'tain't a bootO
Bowin' like a ladyO
Blushin' like a ladO

Both is rotten badO
-
Cheer for the Sergeant's weddin'D
Give 'em one cheer moreA
Grey gun 'orses in the landoO
An' a rogue is married to etcG
