[Verse 1]
[G]Well,[C][G][C]
me husband's in
Salonica
And I [G]wonder if he's dead
I wonder if he knows he's got
a kid with a foxy head
So right away, [C]so right away, so right away
[G]So right away,
Salonica, right away, me soldier
boy
[C]Well, when the war is over,
[G]what will the
slackers do?
They'll be hangin' around the soldiers
for the [C]loan of [G]a b[C]ob or t[G]wo
So right away, so [C]right away,
so right [G]away, so right away
So right away,
Salonica, right away,
me soldier [C]boy[G]
And [C]when the war is over,
what [G]will the soldiers do?
They'll be walkin' around with a leg and a half
and the [C]slacker[G]s they'll [C]have [G]too
So right away, [C]so right away,
so right [G]away, so right away
Salonica right [C]away,
[G]soldier boy[C][G]
[C][G][C][F]
[G]Well, they [C]taxed the pound of butter
And they [G]taxed the hip and the bun
But still with all their taxes thick
And [C]paid [G]the bloody hun
So right away, so [C]right away, so right [G]away
So right away,
Salonica right away, me soldier [C]boy
[G]They [C]taxed the
Coliseum and they taxed
[G]St.
Mary's
Hall
Why don't they tax the bobbies with
their backs against the wall?
right away!
[C]So right away!
So right [G]away!
So right away,
Salonica, right away, me soldier [C]boy!
Well, when the war is over,

And they [G]lay us on the grass
They put us in the family way
and leave us on our ass

But keep your eyes on the shinfin boys with
