The Aughty-Aughth for Mine.[[8]]

[8]. The expression “aughty-aughth” is here used in order to spare the company notoriety.

(Air: “Wearing of the Green.”)

Oh here’s to the aughty-aughth company, the finest to my mind,

The bravest boys in blue and red that I did ever find;

Of all the sweethearts I have met, they are of all most kind,

In every glory you can name, they have the rest outshined.

Refrain:

They’re the finest warriors in the land, in all the world most fine;

The aughty-aughth for my sweetheart, the aughty-aughth for mine.
