Company of cowards - the new christy minstrels

As I was walkin' down the road

'Twas on one summer's day

What d'you suppose I chanced to see

Goin' the other way

Well I knew it weren't

The navy nor the whole mcdougal clan

'Twas a company of cowards

I could tell by the way they ran

Oh get around oh get around get around

Oh get around get away

'Tis a company of cowards

And they've come to save the day

You should've seen their uniforms

Shabby as you please

Mighty shy of buttons

Rather baggy at the knees

And such was their appearance

We laughed until we cried

It's a pity mr Lincoln

They're not on the other side

Oh get around oh get around get around

Oh get around get away

'Tis a company of cowards

And they've come to save the day

I don't recall I ever heard that bugle sound retreat

I could only hear the thunder

Of a hundred scamperin' feet

It was forward into battle

They came marching one by one

But I guess they thought it over

And they thought it best to run

Oh get around oh get around get around

Oh get around get away

'Tis a company of cowards

And they've come to save the day

All men who bear the saber share

The scandal of that day

Napoleon would have died

Of shame to see them run away

Remember george at valley forge

Made the british boys behave

You can well imagine now

He's rolling over in his grave

Oh get around oh get around get around

Oh get around get away

'Tis a company of cowards

And they've come to save the day

Oh get around oh get around get around

Oh get around get away

'Tis a company of cowards

And they've come to save the day
