      A Picture No Artist can Paint

  
  

  Picture a fairy August night

  When our lads from this town went out

                                              to fight

  Outward they went to a foreign shore, 

  They bid good-bye perhaps for evermore,

  Many a poor Mother has broken her heart.

  With one or two son's she has had to part

  We'll fight to a finish now we have began

      Thats a picture no artist can paint

  ___________________________________________

  Picture the lads in the Dardenelles.

  Fighting there way through shot + shell

  Onward they went, they knew no fear.

  Little they thought that death was near.

  Officers and sergeants privates as well.

  Side by side they fought and fell.

  There were eyes there to witness, but no tongue

                                                      can tell.

               Thats a picture no artist can paint
