Grasshopper sitting on a sweet potate vine
Grasshopper sitting on a sweet potate vine
Grasshopper sitting on a sweet potate vine
Along comes a chicken and says you're mine
I'm a gonna get a drink don't you want to go ?
I'm a gonna get a drink don't you want to go ?
I'm a gonna get a drink don't you want to go ?
All for soldier's joy
Well it's twenty-five cents for the morphine
Fifteen cents for the beer
Twenty-five cnets for the morphine
Gonna take me away from here
I am my momma's darling boy
I am my momma's darling boy
I am my momma's darling boy
Singing 'bout soldier's joy
