Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Buddy Ballads: Songs of the A. E. F True Music These boys have won to glory In battle everywhere, Tremendous is their story And yet the bard´s despair; For though their deeds astounding Thrill all your heart and brain, They´d jeer the minstrel sounding A fine heroic strain. They speak of war´s endeavor When men are mowed like wheat, Of things that live forever, In slang of field and street; Seek you for tales of duties Where trenches run with blood, They grin, and talk of "cooties" Of "army chow" and mud. What though their fame hereafter Shall gleam in living fire? The singer courts their laughter Unless he strikes his lyre In accents syncopated And makes the cat-gut thrum To simple music, freighted With tunes that they can hum.
