[G]
[D] [A] [D]
He was a ragged boy [G] when at his [D] father's knee, Became an orphan [G] like a fledgling [A] from a tree,
[D] And at the barrack fence [G] he found his [D] only thrill, [G] The sights and [D] sounds of the parade [A] ground,
And the soldiers at [D] their drill.
And [G] the band [A] played on, [G] and the soldiers [A] marched along, [G] And they [A] sang the sweet [D] banana song.
[G] Nobody was there [A] to share, [D] to turn to [G] and to sing, [D] Than gonna be [A] a soldier too [D] one day.
He was a ragged youth, [G] he worked the [D] fields of grain, A simple man of [G] peace in sun and wind [A] and rain,
[D] And they came in the dead of night, [G] as only [D] jackals can, [G] And they killed his woman [D] and child, [A] and the white [D]-haired old man.
[G] And life [A] goes on, [G] and the soldiers marched [A] along, [G] And they sang [A] the sweet banana [D] song.
[G] Nobody was there [A] to hear [D] his oath of sweet [G] revenge, [D] And the deaths he swore [A] one day he [D] would avenge,
[G] [D] [A]
[D] Far from the ragged boy, [G] the soldier that [D] he made, No one to see him at [G] the passing of [A] parade.
[D] One day an ambush, [G] and a bullet tears [D] his chest, [G] Dying as he [D] fires, [A] poor jackals meet [D] their death.
And [G] the war [A] raged on, [G] and the soldiers marched [A] along, And [G] they sang the [A] sweet banana [D] song.
Nobody [G] was there [A] to care, [D] to be there by [G] his side, Nobody [D] was there when [A] the ragged soldier [D] died.
Nobody [G] was there, [A] nobody [D] was there, nobody [A] was there, nobody [D] was there.
[D] [A] [D]
He was a ragged boy [G] when at his [D] father's knee, Became an orphan [G] like a fledgling [A] from a tree,

And the soldiers at [D] their drill.
