AS THE TRUCKS GO ROLLIN’ BY

There’s a rumble an’ a jumble an’ a bumpin’ an’ a thud,

As I wakens from my restless sleep here in my bed o’ mud,

’N’ I pull my blankets tighter underneath my shelter fly,

An’ I listen to the thunder o’ the trucks a-rollin’ by.

They’re jumpin’ an’ they’re humpin’ through the inky gloom o’ night,

’N’ I wonder how them drivers see without a glim o’ light;

I c’n hear the clutches roarin’ as they throw the gears in high,

An’ the radiators boilin’ as the trucks go rollin’ by.

There’s some a-draggin’ cannons, you c’n spot the sound all right—
