There's work to be done,
They gave me a tin hat,they gave me a gun
And sent me away to the war

Sung to the tune of Waltzing Matilda
Best ballad I've ever heard
I have this Eric Bogle song sung by June Tabor - one of my favourites ( for those who don't know the track it's about the Galipolli campaign).
