John Edmond - Flat Dog Blues

Come to the river and fill your old canteen
You're about the dustiest trooper I've ever seen
Look-ee over there on the sandbank, looks like a log
But if you look again you'll see it's a big flat dog

Come along Troopie
Forget those flat dog blues
Think about the girl back home
And your civvy shoes
Come along Troopie
You've got nothing to lose
Only a little bit of time
So forget those flat dog blues

There he is lying with a crocodile tear in his eye
Smiling you're a crocodile smile as you go by
Reckon if you dare to have
A dip in the drink
You're gonna be a flat dog cocktail soon, I think

Come along Troopie
Forget those flat dog blues
Think about the girl back home
And your civvy shoes
Come along Troopie
You've got nothing to lose
Only a little bit of time
So forget those flat dog blues

Come along Troopie
Forget those flat dog blues
