Battleship Of Maine
[Verse]
C
Mc Kinley called for volunteers,
C
Then I got my gun,
F
First Spaniard I saw coming
C
I dropped my gun and run,
G7 C
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
[Verse]
C
Why are you running,
C
Are you afraid to die,
F
The reason that I'm running
C
Is because I cannot fly,
G7 C
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
[Chorus]
C
At war with that great nation Spain,
C
When I get back to Spain I want to honor my name,
G7 C
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
[Verse]
C
The blood was a-running
C
And I was running too,
F
I give my feet good exercise,
C
I had nothing else to do,
G7 C
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
[Verse]
C
When they were a-chasing me,
C
I fell down on my knees,
F
First thing I cast my eyes upon
C
Was a great big pot of peas,
G7 C
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
[Verse]
C
The peas they were greasy,
C
The meat it was fat,
F
The boys was fighting Spaniards
C
While I was fighting that,
G7 C
It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
