You may talAmk of gin and beerG 
When you're statCioned way out heEre
AmAn' you're sent to penny figGhts an' Aldershot Amit
But when Amit comes to slaGughter
You will dCo your work for waEter
An' you'll lAmick the bloomin' bootGs of 'im that'sAm got it.

Now in IAmnja's sunny clGime
Where I useCd to spend my tEime
AmServin' her MaGjesty the QuAmeen
Of allAm the black faced cGrew
The fCinest man I kEnew
Was regiAmmental bGhisti, Gunga AmDin

The uAmniform he wGore
Was nothCin' much befEore
AmAn' rather less than half Gof that behAmind
But a piAmece of twisty raGg
An' a goCatskin water bagE 
Was all tAmhe field equipmGent he could finAm

When a sGweatin' troop train lay
In a sidAmin' thrGough the Amday
Where the hCeat would make you bloGomin' eyebrows cAmrawl
We shoAmuted, "Harry bGy”
Till ourC throats were bricky-dEry
Then wopAmped him 'cause hGe couldn't serve us Amall.

He would doAmt an' carry oGne
Till theC longest day was donEe
An' nevAmer seemed to knowG the use of Amfear
If we chAmarged a broke or cGut
You could beCt your bloomin' nEut
He'd be waAmitin' fifty paGces right flank Amrear.

With hisG mussick on his back
He would skAmip to oGur attaAmck
An' watchC us till the buGgles made “RetAmire"
An' for Amall his dirty hiGde
He was white,C clear white insiEde
When he wentAm to tend the woGunded under fAmire.

(Spoken)
It was DAmin, DGin, DCin    E 
With the bCullets kickin' dGust spots on the gAmreen
And when the carCtridges ran oGut
You could heaCr the front files sEhout
Send ammCunition mules, aGnd Gunga DAmin!

I shAman't forget the nigGht
When I fCell behind the fEight
With a bAmullet where my belt Gplate should a' Ambeen
I was chAmokin' mad with thGirst

An' the Cman that spied me fiErst
Was our goodAm old grinnin', grGuntin' GungaAm Din

He liftGed up my head
An' he pAmlugged me wGhere I Ambled
An' he gCave me half a piGnt of water gAmreen
It was cAmrawlin' and it sGtunk
But of aCll the drinks I've druEnk
I'm most grAmateful to the onGe from Gunga AmDin

He carrAmied me awGay
To whereC a dooli lEay
An' a buAmllet came and drGilled the beggar clAmean
He carrAmied me insiGde
An' jusCt before he diEed
I hAmope you liked your drGink said Gunga DAmin.

So I'll Gmeet him later on
In the pAmlace where Ghe as gAmone
Where it's alwCays double drillG and no cantAmeen
He'll be squAmattin' on the coGals
Givin' dCrinks to poor damned soEuls
I'll cAmatch a swig in hGell from Gunga DAmin

It was AmDin, GDin, DCin      E 
You LazaCrushian-lGeather Gunga DAmin

Tho' I've beClted you an' flayed Gyou
By the livin' CGod that made yEou
You're aC better man than GI am, Gunga AmDin    G  Am   C  E  Am   G  Am
