For King & for Country

Seemed a good idea when I signed on the line
We’d be home by Christmas have a really good time
Well wouldn’t you give it a try?
‘Stead of workin’ underground you’d be safe and dry

For king and for country up went the shout
Now we cower in trenches riddled with doubt
Try to exist in the muck and the mire
While our pals lay silent, there on the wire

So I’m diggin’ for my country
Diggin’ to survive
Diggin’ for the king three cheers
I’m diggin’ for my life

Now we’re forty feet down quite as mice
Frozen by fear blood feels like ice
Shells raining down high overhead
Every tremor and scream rewakens the dead

So I’m diggin’ for my country
Diggin’ to survive
Diggin’ for the king three cheers
I’m diggin’ for my life

Seemed a good idea when I signed on the line
We’d be home by Christmas have a really good time
