This reminds me of my Grandad. In 1995 we were at my Uncle and Auntie's house for a party. They put this on and my Grandad was crying listening to this. He passed away around a year later, only 70 years old. Also, the CD started sticking at Hey Little Hen #Hey little hen, when-when-whe*when-when-when*when-when-wh*
Top of my favourites...we're 47 old codgers who love these 'our golden oldies....thank you...even more if you're up to it...great St. Georges Day songs.
This channel has brought tears of joy. I played this for my father on Fathers Day, he has Dementia and remembered almost every word. Now sharing with his Nursing Home. Thank you for sharing, it has made Avery happy man.
Not only to those that didn't come home, we should all remember the poor soles that came home with terrible injuries, both physically, emotionally, and mentally..God bless..
Lambeth Walk. I remember skating to this in Edinburgh ice rink back in the sixties. We used to link arms and do the steps right round the rink. Great songs, good tunes and words you can actually hear. Ronsie.
Bravo... I sang along even to the ones I wasn't sure of, so captivating and enjoyable.. Many thanks for posting these sing-a-longs from the WW2 era .. :0)x
I know that song, "I've Got Sixpence." It was on a record album entitled "Soldiers' Songs" that I borrowed from the library when I lived in Yonkers, N.Y. back in the '80s. However, on the record, the lyrics to the chorus were slightly different from the version heard here. Instead of just "Rolling home, rolling home," the chorus goes as follows: Rolling home, dead drunk Rolling home, dead drunk By the light of the silvery moooooon Happy is the day, when the airman gets his pay As we go rolling, rolling home. Also, on the record version, there are other lyrics relating how the song's narrator keeps spending, or at least losing, his money, so that he ends up with: No pence to lend and no pence to spend and no pence to send home to my wife, poor wife. Was this tune designed to teach soldiers not to waste whatever the army pays them so that they'll have something to show for their military service, so they'll have plenty of cash for their future, especially if they plan to have families?
Want to download this on to memory stick to play on Sunday, but can't seem to download. Any ideas? This is for Remembrance Sunday here in Cyprus for the ex-pat community - most of whom were around, and some of them served in the war. Many of them are ex-military and this album is fabulous for a sing-along.
Im looking for the backing track only of this medley and also the other medleys connected to this one.i have the original cd but would love to get a copy of the backing tracks so I can perform these at my gigs for the elderley cherrs
actually it was wrote in 1939 as britain though they could have solved the war as they did in the first, one year later the germans wrote a parody when the BEF retreated across the channel(sorry my bad english).
It couldn't have been written for WW1 because the Siegfried Line, system of pillboxes and strongpoints was built along the German western frontier in the 1930s and greatly expanded in 1944. The song sheet says copyright 1939.
+ONEANDONLYCURLYCOL Thank you so much. I am singing for residents of a Home as part of Liberation Day here in the Channel Islands (May 9th). Could you message me a link to where please?

As a big history fan I loved those songs even though I am from Bulgaria (a Balkan country that was on axis side in ww2)

Dads Army is not actually a WW2 song it was created after the war
Both mh parents loved this type of music, lost them both 2 years ago day after each other.

The third song, "Hang your washing on the Siegfeid Line" is actually a song from WW1 not WW2
actually it was wrote in 1939 as britain though they could have solved the war as they did in the first, one year later the germans wrote a parody when the BEF retreated across the channel(sorry my bad english).
It couldn't have been written for WW1 because the Siegfried Line, system of pillboxes and strongpoints was built along the German western frontier in the 1930s and greatly expanded in 1944. The song sheet says copyright 1939.
