I Don't Want to Join the Army

	The Canfield collection has the earliest recovered version of this, gathered in 1926, as "The Conscientious Objectors Song":

Call out the Army and the Navy.
Call out the rank and the file.
Call out the Territorials,
They'll face the danger with a smile.
Call out the brave Colonials,
They're sure to win the victory.
Call out my brother,
My sister or my mother,
But for Christ sake
Don't call me.

	Something of a similar sentiment is contained in the now seemingly scarce fragment patterned after a British broadside ballad, "Home Dearie Home."  Aparently current after World War I, this is from the Hubert Canfield collection, ca. 1916.

It's home, boys, home. It's home we ought to be,
Home, boys, home, in God's country.
We'll nail Old Glory to the top of the pole
And we'll all re-enlist -- in a pig's asshole.

	Similarly, Canfield has this soldiers' song, which Dolph, p. 99, credits to a Lieutenant Gitz Rice:

I want to go home.  
I want to go home.
The bullets they whiz 
And the cannons they roar.
Oh, I don't want to go 
Up the line any more.
Take me over the sea
Where the German he can't get at me.
Oh my, I don't want to die,
I want to go home.

A tune is in Dolph, pp. 99-100.
