i've got sixpence
i've got sixpence i've got sixpence, jolly, jolly, sixpence i've got sixpence to last me all my life;
 i've got tuppence to spend and tuppence to lend, and tuppence to send up to my wife, poor wife.
 no cares have I to grieve me, no pretty little wife to deceive me;
 I'm happy as a (the ) king, believe me;
 as we go rolling, rolling home,(rolling home) rolling home, (rolling home) rolling home, (rolling home) by the light of the silvery moo-oo-oo-oon happy all the day as we line up for our pay, as we go rolling rolling home.
 i've got 4 pence tuppence to spend, tuppence to lend, no pence to send up to my wife---- i've got tuppence tuppence to spend, no pence to lend and-- i've got no pence, jolly, jolly no pence -------------------------- i've known this song, andheard vets sing it for as long as I remember.
 it goes back at least to the boer war, and was sung during the vietnam war.
 it's now hard to trace how far back this song does go, but I suspect it pre-dates the boer war.
