  2nd Verse

   

  We next entrained for Sittingbourne

  most salubrious town

  The smells that hit you everywhere, would

  knock a Regiment down.

  The Marched us all in morning & they

  marched us all the night

  And when the didn’t march us – well they

  taught us how to fight

  So when we’d worn the Roads a bit, adjourneying (around Kent)
  

  Oh guess what part of France my Regiment

  was sent

   

  Chorus

   

  To Maymyo, On the “Descado”

  Through the Bay of Biscay O

  Lying on your tummy in the bottom of your berth

  Feeling all the time just like nothing upon earth

  “Descado” “Descado”

  Oh Ah Oh Ah Oh

  Overboard my dinner went, my tea it went as well as
  

  I asked my pals to tell Mamm I like a fell soldier

  And after nearly dying, it really was some sell

  To be in Maymyo, in Mamie Ami O
