ONLY a VOLUNTEER
The 136th Infantry
viii be forgotten perhaps i'll year.
But the record they left behind them
Was that of Volunteer
Why didn't l wait to be drafted
And led to the train by band.
And put in my claim for exemption,
Oh! why did hold up my hand.
Why didn t 1 wait for Banquet?
Why didn { l wait to ue cheerei9
For the drafted men all got credit
While l was only Volunteer.
And nobody gave me Banquet,
And nobody said kind word;
And the puff of the engine and the
grind Of the wheel,
Was all the goodbye that l heard.
And off for the training camp hustled
To be trained for the next half year,
And in the shuttle was forgotten,
For 1 was only Volunteer.
But perhaps some day in the future,
When my little boy sits on my knees;
And ak what / did in tho great War,
And his little eyes look up ct me.
And viii hook down into those eyes,
That 1t me % trustingly peer;
And tell him that WASH t drafted,
wss only Volunteer.
This was written
While drinking . barrel Of beer,
Drinking the woe Of the conscript,
And the health Of . Volunteer.
