Kabul town's by Kabul river -- / Blow the bugle, draw the sword -- / There I lef' my mate for ever, / Wet an' drippin' by the ford. / Ford, ford, ford o' Kabul river, / Ford o' Kabul river in the dark! / There's the river up and brimmin', an' there's 'arf a squadron swimmin' / 'Cross the ford o' Kabul river in the dark.
Kabul town's a blasted place -- / Blow the bugle, draw the sword -- / 'Strewth I sha'n't forget 'is face / Wet an' drippin' by the ford! / Ford, ford, ford o' Kabul river, / Ford o' Kabul river in the dark! / Keep the crossing-stakes beside you, an' they will surely guide you / 'Cross the ford o' Kabul river in the dark.
