[00:00:00] Pick Up Tha' Musket - Stanley Holloway

[00:00:08] It occurred on the evening before Waterloo

[00:00:12] As troops were lined up on parade

[00:00:15] And sergeant inspecting them he were a terror

[00:00:18] Of whom every man were afraid

[00:00:21] All excepting one man

[00:00:23] Who was in the front rank

[00:00:25] A man by the name of Sam Small

[00:00:29] And he and the sergeant were both daggers drawn

[00:00:34] They thought now of each other at all

[00:00:37] As sergeant walked past he was swinging his arms

[00:00:41] And he happened to brush against Sam

[00:00:44] And knocking this musket clean out of is hand

[00:00:48] It fell in the ground with a slam

[00:00:51] Pick it up said sergeant abrupt like but cool

[00:00:57] But Sam with a shake of this head

[00:01:00] Said seeing as that knocked it out of my hand

[00:01:04] Perhaps tha'll pick the thing up instead

[00:01:08] Sam Sam pick up that musket

[00:01:12] The sergeant exclaimed with a roar

[00:01:16] Sam said that knocked it down reasoning

[00:01:19] Tha'll pick it up or it stays where this on the floor

[00:01:25] The sound of high words very soon reached

[00:01:28] The ears of an officer Lieutenant Bird

[00:01:31] Who says to the sergeant

[00:01:34] Now what's all this there

[00:01:36] And the sergeant told what had occurred

[00:01:40] Sam Sam pick up the musket

[00:01:46] Lieutenant exclaimed with some heat

[00:01:50] Sam says he knocked it down reasoning he picks it up

[00:01:55] Or it stays where it is at my feet

[00:01:58] It caused quite a stir when the Captain arrived

[00:02:02] To find out the 'cause of the trouble

[00:02:05] And every man there all excepting old Sam

[00:02:09] Was full of excitement and bubble

[00:02:13] Sam Sam pick up the musket

[00:02:18] Said Captain for strictness renowned

[00:02:23] Sam says he knocked it down reasoning he picks it up

[00:02:27] Or it stays where it is on the ground

[00:02:31] The same thing occurred when the Major and Colonel

[00:02:34] Both tried to get Sam to see sense

[00:02:39] But when old Duke of Wellington came into view

[00:02:42] Well then the excitement was tense

[00:02:47] Up rode the Duke on a lovely white horse

[00:02:53] To find out the 'cause of the bother

[00:02:57] He looked at the musket and then at old Sam

[00:03:01] And he talked to old sam like a brother

[00:03:06] Sam Sam pick up the musket the Duke

[00:03:12] Said as quiet as could be

[00:03:15] Sam Sam Sam Sam pick up the musket

[00:03:29] All right Duke says old Sam just for thee I'll oblige

[00:03:35] And to show thee I meant no offence

[00:03:38] So Sam picked it up gradely lead said the Duke

[00:03:45] Righto boys let battle commence
