  6 Verse

   

  Of course I’m mad on solidering my friends here as well

  We wish the Kaiser & his troops were safely lodged

  in H___

   

  And although were out in Burma, we all hope

  to have a chance

  To let them feel the “Border” end of a bayonet

  soon in France.

  So you “Brass hats” in the Audience we hope you’ll

  make it soon

  When you order us all trenchwards on a trooper from Rangoon

   

  Chorus

   

  From Maymyo, From Maymyo

  Meeting all discomforts with a grin upon your face

  Because were leaving Burma for a vastly better

  place

   

  Oh Westward O, Oh Westward O

  From Maymi Ami O

   

  Through when we’re out in Belgium & the shells

  begin to fly

  We’ll show you that  the terrier lads can fight

  & Fight & die

  And some of us will wish for & Remember

  with a sigh

   

  Good old Maymi Old Maymi Ami O
