“Machine-Guns They Rattle”

Description

"Machine-guns they rattle, Jack Johnsons they roar, I don't want to fight With these Fritz any more. Take me over the sea, Where the Germans they can't get at me, Oh, my, I don't want to die, I want to go home"

Notes

Although this piece is probably a parody, Meredith and Anderson report a shearer's parody of it. - RBW
