With Dickman to the Rhine.


Yes, twas a wonderful trip, sir, with
wonderful sights 20 see;
Sights that I'll tell my kids about,
when / take them on my knee.
When I'm an old bird with whiskers
III lift up those kids of mine
And tell how / hiked with Dickman-
old ice Dickman-to the Rhine.
Many thing remember well,
Especially hearing some one yell:
Fall Out,
Fall In.
Forward March,"
Scenery there was a-plenty, sir, the
like l never have seen;
Some Of it struck me as brownish- like
and some of it mighty green.
Some of the roads were muddy, sir,
and some of them pretty fine
AS l hiked up with Dickman-Old Joe
Dickman to the Rhine.
Went right through with all our
bands.
And run the army on three COM
mands:
Fall Out,
Fall In,
Forward March,
We start from near Etain, sir, most
historic town
1t wasn't so very far from there our
slum-gun busted down;
And we were short of eats, sir, from
there on up the line,
When / hiked up with Dickman-Old
Joe Dickman-to the Rhine.
And the thing that l remember well
Was hearing our young captain yell:
Fall Out,
Fall In,
Forward March,"
Yes, twas a long, hard trip, sir; as
hard as I've ever found;
And often the seat of my pants, sir,
was sort o. dragginG the ground.
And sometimes / rather thought, sir,
that it didn't seem quite so fine
To be hiking along with Dickman-
Old Joe Dickman-to the Rhine.
l wonder if Old Joe's the bird
Who gave that war cry to the Third:
Fall Out,
Fall In,
Forward March"
Think of the things we saw, sir, and
the history that we made,
Longwy! Why it was near there we
struck hell of grade,
And there was place in Athus that
sold some pretty good wine
As | hiked up with Dickman-Old Joe
Dicman-to the Rhine.
And what sticks in my memory
Is hearing someone yell at me:
Fall Out,
Fall In,
Forward, March,"
Remember the Moselle river?
Well, should say I do
Twas there at Wasserbillig that got
stone in my shoe.
And Trier? Why at Trier, a fraulien
was teaching me "Yah" and "Nein"
As / hiked with Joe Dickman-Old
Joe Dickman-to the Rhine.
And l was teaching her to say,
The words that / heard every day:
Fall Out
Fall In,
Forward, March,"
Castles, well yes, some castles;
the boche was good at them arts.
But most of them all mussed UP, sir
like castles get in these parts.
And many a roadside joint, sir, where
l bought my beer in stein
As liked up with Dickman-Old Joe
Dickman-to the Rhine.
And the thing / never will forget,
Was hearing as / hiked and sweat,
Fall Out,
Fall In,
Forward, March,"
Yes, sir. l hiked with Dickman. sir
and I'll say / hiked far;
! I'll say / hiked with Dickman. sir
though Dickman hiked by car.
No, sir, never saw him, but know
he'll think it's fine
To hear that was with him, sir, will
Dickman to the Rhine.
And he'll be pleased to know that
Will always recollect that cry:
Fall Out,
