Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day
F                 C                  D7   G
Chatting with my mess-mates, passing time away
C                     F             C
Lying in the shadows underneath the trees
F              C         G7            C
Goodness, how delicious, eating Goober peas.

When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule

To cry out their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule!"
C                   F                   C
But another custom, enchantinger than these

Just before the battle, the General hears a row 
F                        C        D7               G
