get your hoe;
Mary dig your row. dig your row, dig
your row;
Down to business. girls, and boys,
Learn to know the gardeners joys,
While the sun beams Turk do not
shirk, get to work,
All the lads must spade the ground,
All the girls must hustle round.
Chorus
over there, over there;
Send the word, send the word over
there,
That the lads are hoeing. the lads are
hoeing,
The girls are sewing everywhere,
Each a garden to prepare,
DO your bit so that we all can share
With the boys, with the boys, the
brave boys,
Who Will not come back till its over,
over there.
