HIGH WOOD TO WATERLOT FARM
Tune—‘‘Chalk Farm to Camberwell Green”
THERE is a wood at the top of a hill,
If it’s not shifted it’s standing there still;
There is a farm a short distance away,
But I’d not advise you to go there by day,
For the snipers abound, and the shells are not rare,
And a man’s only chance is to run like a hare,
So take my advice if you’re chancing your arm
From High Wood to Waterlot Farm.

Chorus—High Wood to Waterlot Farm,
Chorus—All on a summer’s day,
Chorus—Up you get to the top of the trench
Chorus—Though you’re sniped at all the way.
Chorus—If you’ve got a smoke helmet there
Chorus—You’d best put it on if you could,
Chorus—For the wood down by Waterlot Farm
Chorus—Is a bloody high wood.
