In the Ambulance

In the Ambulance
(Wilfred Wilson Gibson)

"Two rows of cabbages,
Two of curly greens,
Two rows of early peas,
Two of kidney beans."

That's what he is muttering,
Making such a song,
Keeping other chaps awake
The whole night long.

Both his legs were shot away,
And his head is light;
So he keeps muttering
All the blessed night -

"Two rows of cabbages
Two of curly greens,
Two rows of early peas,
Two of kidney beans."
