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.
