Chorus:
Follow me, boys, Follow me!
When you think you're really beat,
That's the time to lift your feet,
And follow me, boys, follow me!
Pick them up, put them down,
And follow me.
Sergeant Reilley said, There's a fight to win!
Follow me, boys, follow me!
And it won't be done till we all pitch in.
Lift your chin with a grin and follow me!
Chorus
Shout: Pick them up, put them down, pick them up!
It's a long long time, but we've got the will.
Follow me, boys, follow me!
When we reach the top then it's all down hill.
Till you drop, don't stop, and follow me!
Chorus
Though the journey's end is beyond our sight.
Follow me, boys, follow me!
If we do our best then we've done all right.
Pack you load, hit the road, and follow me!
Chorus
Shout: Pick them up, put them down, pick them up!
We were all packed in when the sergeant said,
Follow me, boys, follow me!
We got off our backs and prepared our attack, When our sergeant
hollered, Follow me!
Chorus
There's a job to do, there's a fight to win,
Follow me, boys, follow me!
And it won't be done till we all pitch in.
Lift your chin with a grin, and follow me!
