When this war is over
And we all have passed away
There'll be some damn fool in some damn school
Who'll write about today
He'll tell them how we all survived
This bullcrap every day
And never said that thing it was
That helped along the way
Oh be joyful
Makes my troubles disappear
A cup of oh be joyful makes me joyful I am here
Oh be joyful...
Only you can set me free
If you're good enough for U.S. Grant
You're good enough for me
We get up every morning
And we march through all this mud
Always tonin' this and liftin' that
And eatin' some ole' spud
And if you find a woman
You are bound to catch the crud
But there is always one thing
That will ossify the blood
Oh be joyful...
Makes my troubles disappear
A cup of Oh be joyful makes me joyful I am here
Oh be joyful...
Only you can set me free
If you're good enough for U.S. Grant
You're good enough for me
Bad shoes, bad food, lousy brass
Oh be joyful save my ass
Well, we march and do the double-quick
This sergeant's too damn rough
This Dixie mud is mighty slick
And this bread is hard and tough
That's the crap they put us through
And brother we obey
So thank God for his nectar
That will get us through the day
Oh be joyful...
Makes my troubles disappear
A cup of oh be joyful makes me joyful I am here
Oh be joyful
Only you can set me free
If you're good enough for U.S. Grant
You're good enough for me
John Brown is lyin' in his grave
And son, you would be too
If you ate this crap they gave us
It would turn your innards blue
I don't know but I been told
A soldier's life is hell
But son, I'll give you somethin'
That'll get ya' mighty well
Oh be joyful
.makes my troubles disappear
A cup of oh be joyful makes me joyful I am here
Oh be joyful
Only you can set me free
If you're good enough for U.S. Grant
You're good enough for me
Bad shoes, bad food, lousy brass
Oh be joyful save my ass
Our father who art in Washington
Abraham be thy name
Thy will be done to everyone
And Dixie take the blame
Give us our daily ration
Of crackers, salt, and pork
For thine might be the power
But let us pull the cork
Oh be joyful
Makes my troubles disappear
A cup of oh be joyful makes me joyful I am here
Oh be joyful
Only you can set me free
If you're good enough for U.S. Grant
You're good enough for me
Oh be joyful
Makes my troubles disappear
A cup of oh be joyful makes me joyful I am here
Oh be joyful
Only you can set me free
If you're good enough for U.S. Grant
You're good enough for me
