GRAFTED INTO THE ARMY. Words and Music by Henry C. Work. No. 13.
1. Our Jimmy has gone for to live in a tent, They have grafted him into the army; He finally pucker'd up courage and went, When they grafted him into the army. I told them the child was toying, alas! At the captain's fore-quarters, they said he would pass - They'd train him up well in the infantry class - So they grafted him into the army.
2. Rest up in his unicorn-dear little chap; They have grafted him into the army; It seems but a day since he sot in my lap, But they grafted him into the army. And these are the tropics he used to wear- Them very same buttons- the patch and the tea- But Uncle Sam gave him a barn new pair When they grafted him into the army.
3. Now in my pro-vis-ions I see him re-vealed-- The have graft-ed him in-to the arm-my; A pick-et be-side the con-tent-ed field, The have graft-ed him in-to the ar-my. He looks kind-er sick-ish-- be-gins to cry-- A big vol-un-teer stand-ing right in his eye! Oh what if the duck-y should up and die Now they've graft-ed him in-to the ar-my.
