4th verse


The Kachins on the Border, well they thought they'd

have a show

So Naturally we "Borders" had our orders their to go

So we journeyed to Myitkyina in a Devil of a Rush.

And we'd visions of some gay fights with them

in the bush

Our sun burnt knees show honoured sears

our rifles got quite hot.

And ammunition ran quit short, in fact we

used the lot


Chorus


In Table B In Table B

C.D. F & G

Each on trying to be a first class shot

Counting up the Bulls Eyes that we had not got

In Table B, In Table B

Crouching behind cover on the hard hard day

Blazing at a Target in a aimless kind of wya

Wondering when the schores go in what

T'Adjutant 'll say

In Table B In Table Able B
