“Sam, Sam, pick oop tha' musket'
The Duke said as quiet as could be,
'Sam, Sam Sam Sam, pick oop tha' musket,
Coom on lad, just to please me”

“Alright Duke,' said Old Sam, 'just for thee I'll oblige,
And to show thee I meant no offence',
So Sam picked it up, 'Gradely, lad' said the Duke,
'Right-o boys… let battle commence.”

“Pick it oop' said the Sergeant, abrupt-like, but cool,
But Sam with the shake of his head,
Being that thou knocked it out of me 'and,
Let thou pick the thing up, instead”

“Sam, Sam, pick oop the musket,'
Said Captain, for strictness renowned.
Sam said 'He knocked it doon, reason he picks it oop,
or it stays where it is, on the ground.”
