Our Sargent major jumped from 40,000 feet, the Yorkshire version is so so different

[@ArchineerRob]

My granddad used to sing that version, his wife's from Yorkshire ^^

[@miss_akame]

The music makes this version the best one

[@mattsallotmentgarden]

[@moronsociety]

I always remember the chorus being “Gory gory, what a hell of a way to die, with a bullet up his arse and a dagger in his eye” not sure if it’s just me?

[@Grievous_Nix]
