Ten Thousand Men

Ten thousand men on a Hill,
Ten thousand men on a Hill,
Some of 'm goin' down some of 'm gonna get killed

Ten thousand men dressed in Oxford blue.
Ten thousand men dressed in Oxford blue.
Drummin' in the morning, in the evening they'll be coming for you.

Ten thousand men on the move,
Ten thousand men on the move,
None of them doing nothin' that your mama wouldn't disapprove

Ten thousand men dressed in Oxford blue.
Ten thousand men dressed in Oxford blue.
All clean shaven, all coming in from the cold.

Hey! Who could your lover be?
Hey! Who could your lover be?
Let me eat off his head so you can really see!

Ten thousand women all dressed in white,
Ten thousand women all dressed in white,
Standin' at my window wishin' me goodnight.

Ten thousand men looking so lean and frail,
Ten thousand men looking so lean and frail,
Each one of 'em got seven wives, each one of 'em just out of jail.

Ten thousand women all sweepin' my room,
Ten thousand women all sweepin' my room,
Spilling my buttermilk, sweeping it up with a broom.

Ohh, baby, thank you for my tea!
Baby, thank you for my tea!
It's so sweet of you to be so nice to me.
