| WHEN VERY LIGHTS ARE SHINING |
 |
| When Very lights are shining, Sure they're like the morning light And when the guns begin to thunder You can hear the angel's shite. Then the Maxims start to chatter And trench mortars send a few, And when Very lights are shining 'Tis time for a rum issue. When Very lights are shining Sure 'tis like the morning dew, And when shells begin a bursting It makes you think your times come too. And when you start advancing Five nines and gas comes through, Sure when Very lights are shining 'Tis rum or lead for you. |
