BUT ON THE HILLS OF TURKY
THERE IS A PLACE CALLED SALT LAKE

THE NAVY DID THEIR BEST
WITH THE HELP OF BRITISH GUNS
AND KEPT THE TURKS AT BAY
WHILE THEY ALSO WATCHED THE HUNS

THE 11TH DIVISION WERE THERE
FIGHTING AROUND CHOCOLLATE HILL
TRYING TO STRIKE FOR FREEDOM
WITH THE HELP OF A CONSTANT WILL

FIVE MONTHS THEY TRIED THEIR BEST
TO FIGHT A CROS SUVLA BAY
BUT JOHNNY TURK SAID NO
YOU MUST GO THE OTHER WAY

5

ACHI BABER STOOD FIRM
WHILE THE NARROWS WE TRIED TO GET
AND THE 29TH DIVISION
PAID THEIR LITTLE DEPT

WE COULD NOT FORCE THE NARROWS
OR MOVE AT SUVLA BAY
SO EARLY ONE DARK NIGHT
WE BEGAN TO RUN AWAY

WE LEFT ALL OUR TRENCHES
THOSE WE HAD DUG SO WELL
WE ALSO LEFT THE COUNTRY
WHERE ALL OUR LADS HAD FELL

SITTING IN THE BOATS
WE CALMY SAILED AWAY
LEAVING GALLIPOLE
LEAVING SUVLA BAY

WE SAID GOOD BY TO TURKEY
JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS DAY
FOR THE DARDENELLES WAS A FAILURE
THAT’S WHAT THE M.PS SAYS
