I've a little wet home in the trench

Speranza

To the tune of "Little Grey Home in the West"

I've a little wet home in a trench

where the rainstorms continually drench

there's a dead cow close by

with her feet in towards the sky

& she gives off a terrible stench

underneath in the place of a floor

there's a mass of wet mud & some straw

but with shells dropping there

there's no place to compare

with my little wet home in the trench.

in our little wet home in the trench

that the rain storms continually drench

there’s a dead cow near by

 

with its hooves in the sky

& it gives off a terrible stench

beneath us instead of a floor

is a layer of cold mud & some straw.

the Jack Johnsons we dread

as they speed overhead

in our little wet home in the trench
