Words/Music, Infantry of WW1

Speaking out against the war in any way was treason and punishable by execution by firing squad. So the multitude of soldier’s songs, always at least sarcastic and often so filthy or inflammatory that most historians didn’t record them, must have also had an important role in allowing disillusioned troops to vent steam. This is one of the most famous examples.

If you want to find the Sergeant, I know where he is.
I know where he is, I know where he is.
If you want to find the Sergeant, I know where he is.
He’s scrounging round the cookhouse door.

I saw him, I saw him. Scrounging round the cookhouse door,
I saw him scrounging round the cookhouse door.

The Major... ...Drinking all the company rum.
The General... ...Pinning another medal to his chest
The Private... ...Hanging on the Old Barbed Wire

(Numerous other verses existed, many of them much smuttier!)
