The willing conscript (LP版) - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

Oh Sergeant I'm a draftee[00:00:05]

And I've just arrived in camp [00:00:07]

I've come to wear the uniform[00:00:10]

And join the martial tramp [00:00:12]

And I want to do my duty [00:00:15]

But one thing I do implore[00:00:17]

You must give me lessons [00:00:20]

Sergeant for I've never killed before [00:00:22]

To do my job obediently is my only desire [00:00:25]

To learn my weapon thoroughly[00:00:30]

And how to aim and fire [00:00:33]

To learn to kill the enemy[00:00:35]

And then to slaughter more [00:00:38]

I'll need instruction sergeant [00:00:41]

For I've never killed before [00:00:43]

Oh there are rumors[00:00:47]

In the camp about our enemy [00:00:49]

They say that when you see him[00:00:52]

He looks just like you and me [00:00:55]

But you deny it Sergeant [00:00:58]

And you are a man of war [00:01:00]

So you must give me lessons [00:01:03]

For I've never killed before [00:01:05]

Now there are several lessons[00:01:14]

That I haven't mastered yet [00:01:16]

I haven't got the hang of[00:01:19]

How to use the bayonet [00:01:21]

If he doesn't die at once am I[00:01:24]

To stick him with it more [00:01:27]

Oh I hope you will be patient [00:01:29]

For I've never killed before [00:01:32]

The hand grenade is something[00:01:34]

That I just don't understand [00:01:37]

You've got to throw it quickly[00:01:40]

Or you're apt to lose your hand [00:01:42]

Does it blow a man to pieces[00:01:45]

With it's wicked muffled roar [00:01:47]

Oh I've got so much to learn[00:01:50]

Because I've never killed before [00:01:52]

Oh I want to thank you Sergeant [00:02:01]

For the help you've been to me [00:02:03]

For you've taught me how to slaughter[00:02:06]

And to hate the enemy [00:02:08]

And I know that I'll be ready[00:02:11]

When they march me off to war [00:02:14]

And I know that it won't matter[00:02:17]

That I've never killed before [00:02:19]

And I know that it won't matter[00:02:22]

That I've never killed before[00:02:24]
