- (continued from previous page)over another had begun
It's little we thought then but we were safe but sad the tale to tell
When Barney Carr who led the rank into a 'bink' he fell.
VII
Rescuing him from drowning we had enough to do
But worst of all we do recall poor Dorrian lost his shoe
Its not for the cost of leather that makes me here regret
But to see poor Barney Dorrian going home all on the stocking feet.
VIII
So gentle men remember and a warning take from me
Don't be so very foolish to run to dance and spree
But if you do be very sure and do not go alone
But bring your comrades with you that will bring you safely home.
