| THEY ask me where Ive been, | |
| And what Ive done and seen. | |
| But what can I reply | |
| Who know it wasnt I, | |
| But someone, just like me, | 5 |
| Who went across the sea | |
| And with my head and hands | |
| Slew men in foreign lands
| |
| Though I must bear the blame | |
| Because he bore my name. | 10 |
