A DEUTCHER VOLUNTEER

| Composed by Civil War veteran
of Co. A, 33rd Wisconsin cavalry.)
1t was in GAINESVILLE City
That first heard the drum and fife
Nit schicken tail stuckt in men hat
| marched up without fear
And joined the Yankee army
Chust like a Deutcher volunteer.
Now when we left GAINESVILLE City
The people all did stand
AT the depot to see us off
And shook us by the hand.
The women waved their handkerch;efs
And bid us all goodbye;
The men began to cheer us
And | began to cry.
When | took on them dear gardens,
Where the Deutches used to meet,
To waltz around with the Deutcher
gals
And sing Deutcher songs and treat.
chust swallowed down the schnaps
And key of lager beer
Chust brave like general
Was this Deutcher volunteer.
And when we got to the war
They stood us in row,
And marched us up and down sh' camp
To teach which way to q,
We load our guns with nothing
And try to shoot dem right,
And scharge upon the rebels
When there was none in sight.
Now, all you young men that eff to
war you go,
Chust take my advice one day be-
fore you go:
Take along couple barrels sauer kraut
and plenty schweitzer cheese,
And some bologna sausage a,i1 any
thing else you please;
IND when you get in battle
Chust lower your knapsack down
,our back to cover up the rear,
And then you won't get wounded
like this Deutcher volunteer.
