A SCOUT WITH A HOE
With a hoe in his hand
And a tongue in his head,
A Scout is as good
AS a man shooting lead.

And a tongue in his head,
A Scout is as good
AS a man shooting lead.
AS good as soldier,
AS good as a ship,
His hoe is his weapon
No gun on his hip.
He's up in the morning,
At night he's in bed.
He works for Our Country
He keeps fighters fed.
Not looking for medals,
Not making a show,
Not playing the hero
Just a scout with a hoe.
He enlisted nine more,
Each scout with a hoe,
Each ones soil soldier
To make the grub grow.
Two million scouts hoes
Have an influence felt
In that line of defenses
Just below the belt.
