BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS
Ho then we strips ’is saddle off, and all ’is woes is past:
’E think on us that used ’im so, and gets revenge at last.
   O the oont, O the oont, O the floatin’, bloatin’ oont!
    The late lamented camel in the water-cut ’e lies;
   We keeps a mile behind ’im an’ we keeps a mile in front,
    But ’e gets into the drinkin’-casks, and then o’ course we dies.
