Song For Heroes

 Captain O’Hare was a mariner brave;
He refused to abandon his ship;
A hero, he sleeps in a watery grave—
And his widow is now Mrs.
 Bipp,
 Haw! Haw!
His widow is now Mrs.
 Bipp!

Henri Dupont was a fearless young ace;
Five thousand feet up he was hit;
Each year on his grave pretty flowers we place—
And his widow is now Mrs.
 Schmitt,
 Haw! Haw!
His widow is now Mrs.
 Schmitt!

Corporal Dunn was a volunteer bold;
He plunged in the deadliest fray;
A bayonet thrust laid him out stony cold—
And his widow is now Mrs.
 Gray,
 Haw! Haw!
His widow is now Mrs.
 Gray!

But Peter McGuck was a cowardly sneak,
Like a hound he remained home in fear;
When fishing one day he fell into the creek—
And his widow is now Mrs.
 Greer,
 Haw! Haw! Haw!
Mrs.
 William O’Houlihan Greer!
