TOO PROUD TO LOAF

We're camping on the Rio Grande
With nothing much to do
But wash our shirts and darn our socks
And darn the insects too.
We want the world to understand
We're not too proud 10 fight,
But draw the line at loafing here
With things that sting and bite
The rattlers are a friendly lot
And visit us by scores,
Tarantulas prefer our tents
To sleeping ont of doors.
We've learned the horned toad is but
harmless little oaf,
We're not a bit too proud to fight.
But how we hate to loaf.
In mapping in our shoes and hats
The scorpion persists,
And we did not enlist to be
A bunch of naturalists.
We're not too proud to fight the foe
No matter when he comes,
But are ashamed to wait around
And loaf, and twirl our thumbs
While we are valeting for mules
And building fences here
Some other fellows have the jobs
We held for many a year.
We're not too proud to fight-n fact
We'd glory in fray.
But we're too busy Just to sit
And loaf our time away.
O. this is not soldiers life,
This smuggling sand and sun,
Mosquitoes. fleas. and all tho pests
That crawl and fly and run.
We're not too proud for Freedoms SAX
To fight and bleed and die.
But loafing viii not help to keep
Old Glory in the sky.
