3RD. FIELD REG’T SONG
Written and composed by Capt. J .O’Shay, R.C. A.P.C.
Reg’t Paymaster, R.C.A.
Found in my late father Harold Fox’s collection.
1-When you talk of winning battles
And of units where honors due,
Don’t forget the sweating gunner
And the job he has to do.
Don’t forget it ain’t a picnic
When he leaves those shells about
And in spite of aching muscles
In the din you hear him shout
“ “ “ “ “ “ “ “
CHORUS: Get a load of this you Jerries
When you hear the shriek and wail
Dig yourselves down deep ‘cause you won’t sleep
With the third on your tail.
You can brag and sing of Deutschland
And your bloody Siegfried Line,
But you’ll eat each word because the 3rd
Will sink you in the Rhine.
2-Sure you caught Hell in the desert
Don’t forget El Almain
And in Scilly you scattered
Like leaves before the rain,
Rommel made a lot of widows
And we buried all yor dead,
When you stood at Leonforte
God, the ground was bloody red,
‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’ ‘’.
Tune..On The Road To Mandalay
1945
