"For King And Country" lyrics
George Sheppard Lyrics
My name is Roy Denning
It's Monday 9th of September 1914
They've been calling for volunteers to fight for King and Country
I left home at the usual time
I hadn't told my mother or family that I was going to Victoria barracks
I joined a queue with some other blokes
I was questioned, examined, filled in forms and signed my name
When I got home, having tea with mum, dad and my younger brother and sister
Mum asked about my day
Mum, I've enlisted
It's Monday 9th of September 1914
They've been calling for volunteers to fight for King and Country
I left home at the usual time
I hadn't told my mother or family that I was going to Victoria barracks
I joined a queue with some other blokes
I was questioned, examined, filled in forms and signed my name
When I got home, having tea with mum, dad and my younger brother and sister
Mum asked about my day
Mum, I've enlisted
