The fight was done an hour ago: / The whole brigade has fallen back, / And I've been wand'rin' to and fro, / A-askin' any -- white or black, / 'Say -- have you seen my brother, Jack? / His troop was first in the attack!'
I should have seen him here by now: / An hour ago the 'cease fire' went. / He isn't wounded any'ow, / 'Cos with the stretcher squads I went, / An' all my other time I've spent / A-hangin' round the doctor's tent.
