Called “Free as a Bird” 1890s ish?
I’ve got the chorus:
Then stand to your glasses steady!
We drink to our comrades’ eyes,
A cup to the dead already-
Hurrah for the next that dies!
Can’t find the full text though. Anyone?
I’m finding either a poem or a song called “The Revel” by Bartholomew Dowling. I couldn’t find it on iTunes, but this site claims it was recently used in the credits for an unnamed documentary about the Boer War.
You know, I swear I heard that in a movie. IMDB, maybe?
That would be **‘Dawn Patrol’ ** (1938). World War I aviation movie starring Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone.
That would be one of my favorite movies…:smack:
Explains why it was so familliar, anyway.
Well, I’ll be damned. My searching skills suck. Thanks for the link.
