Rookie rhymes, by the men of the 1st and 2nd provisional training regiments, Plattsburg, New York

Part 2 — COMPANY 2 NEW ENGLAND

Reading edition

(Air: "Lord Geoffry Amherst")

Oh, good old Uncle Sam declared a war on Kaiser Bill, When, his pledges "Bill" neglected to fulfill; And the War Department ordered that a training camp should be, So they sent us up to Plattsburg, don't you see? So they sent us up to Plattsburg, don't you see? And the men from all New England came along and gathered there, And the companies they chose with greatest care. But out of all the candidates selected but a few To organize New England Number 2.

(Chorus)

Oh, Captain Peek and Company Two They'll be names known to fame the whole world o'er. They will ever be glorious When the Hohenzollerns reign no more.
