+. As I went out one morning for to take the pleasant air,
+the birds were singing in the trees and the weather it was fair.
+I sat for a while to rest my back at the foot of a shady oak
+When by there came a band of men with their faces black as smoke.
+**Chorus:**
+//And it's rise up jock and sing your song,
+For the summer is short and the winter long
+Let's all join hands and form a chain
+till the leaves of springtime bloom again //
+. Now the first to come in was a soldier with his rifle in his hand
+He'd just returned from fighting wars in many's the distant land
+And he'd left his regiment sleeping at the foot of a foreign hill
+And he's returned to England for to kill or to be killed
+[Chorus]
+. And the next to come in was a sailor, he'd just returned from the sea
+He'd sailed away for seven long years, till at last he was set free
+That evening as the sun went down, he'd anchored by the shore
+And he's returned to England for to fight one battle more
+[Chorus]
+. In the middle of the forest where the blackbirds sweet did sing
+The soldier and the sailor took their place inside a ring
+And when the battle started they went at it blow by blow
+And when the battle ended, down their backs the blood did flow
+[Chorus]
+. Now a chimneysweep and a doctor come a walkin' arm in arm
+And when they saw the bodies there, they show-ed no alarm
+For the doctor he'd been traveling thru Italy, France, and Spain
+And he had in his bag a tiny flask for to ease the ache and pain
+[Chorus]
+. He gave a drink to the soldier who rose up from the ground
+And he began to sing his song as he passed the bottle round
+And the sailor, the same up from the ground, as sure as he was born
+And the soldier, the sailor, the doctor, and the sweep, they danced into the dawn
+[Chorus]
