• Lyrics:
  Grasshopper sitting on a sweet potate vine,
  Grasshopper sitting on a sweet potate vine,
  Grasshopper sitting on a sweet potate vine,
  'Long comes a chicken and says “You're mine.”
  
  I'm a gonna get a drink, don't you want to go?
  I'm a gonna get a drink, don't you want to go?
  I'm a gonna get a drink, don't you want to go?
  All for soldier's joy.
  
  Well it's twenty-five cents for the morphine,
  Fifteen cents for the beer,
  Twenty-five cents for the morphine,
  Gonna take me away from here.
  
  I am my momma's darling boy,
  I am my momma's darling boy,
  I am my momma's darling boy,
  Singing 'bout soldier's joy.
