lirik lagu the ragtime volunteers are off to war – van & schenck
all the gals have got the blues since they heard the lastest news that the ragtime volunteers
who haven’t fought in nearly twenty years
will march away and leave their folks in tears
they’re gonna leave today that’s what the papers say
here comes the band, come take your stand and watch them march away
just see those ragtime soldiers left, right, left, right
knapsacks upon their shoulders left, right, left, right
just watch that leader man control that jazbo band
ain’t that some demonstration? oh! what syncopation!
old colonel jones looks like a pouter pigeon, as they go swinging by his door
each high brown turtle dove says “farewell, my lady love,”
the ragtime volunteers are off to war!
