Tekst piosenki
Well, just about a few years, and some months ago
United States come, and voted for war
Sammy called a man from the East and the West
Get ready boys, we got to do our best
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Well they registered everybody, when the war was on
Well, with president Wilson sittin' on the throne
Making loss for everyone
Didn’t call the black man to lay by the white
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Well they registered everybody, when the war was on
Ice on the landing, getting to
Getting no better but the same old thing
Cents on the dollar, ride the train
Rates getting cheaper, take a ride again
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Well they registered everybody, when the war was on
Measure your boiler, measure your wheat
Half a pound of sugar for a person a week
Folks didn’t like it, they blamed uncle sam
Have got to save the sugar for the poor in’a France
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Well they registered everybody, when the war was on
Well, boys whooped the Germans, home at last
Woulda' brought the kaiser but they run too fast
Coulden’t blame the kaiser for’a leaving the land
Uncle Sammy had to save the skin’a most evil man
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Well they registered everybody, when the war was on
Tax getting heavy, time to pay
Half the boys all across the sea
Blood and water up to their knees
Faced the kaiser for’a you and me
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Well they registered everybody, when the war was on
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Kilka lat i kilka miesięcy temu.
Stany Zjednoczone przybyły i głosowały za wojną
Sammy wezwał człowieka ze wschodu i zachodu
Przygotujcie się chłopcy, musimy dać z siebie wszystko.
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Cóż, zarejestrowali wszystkich, kiedy była wojna.
Z prezydentem Wilsonem na tronie
Making loss for everyone
Nie wezwałem czarnego, by leżał przy Białym.
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Cóż, zarejestrowali wszystkich, kiedy była wojna.
Lód na lądowaniu, dotarcie do
"Getting no better but the same old thing"
Cents on the dollar, ride the train
Stawki coraz tańsze, take a ride again
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Cóż, zarejestrowali wszystkich, kiedy była wojna.
Zmierz swój kocioł, zmierz swoją pszenicę
Pół funta cukru dla osoby tygodniowo
Ludziom się to nie podobało, obwiniali wujka Sama.
Muszę oszczędzać cukier dla biednych we Francji.
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Cóż, zarejestrowali wszystkich, kiedy była wojna.
Well, boys whooped the Germans, home at last
Woulda ' bring the kaiser but they run too fast

Wujek Sammy musiał uratować skin ' a najbardziej złego człowieka
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Everybody wailed (when the war was on)
Cóż, zarejestrowali wszystkich, kiedy była wojna.
Podatki coraz cięższe, czas płacić
Połowa chłopców za morzem
Krew i woda po kolana
