Lyrics

A Soldier & a Sailor went walking one day
Said the soldier to the the sailor
I've a notion to pay
If we have one prayer
May we also have ten
Have a whole bloody litany
Said the sailor amen

And the first thing I'll pray for
I'll pray for a beer
Glory hallalujah to give us good cheer
And if we have one beer, may we also have ten
Have a whole bloody brewery
Said the sailor amen
