" TRANSPORT 82"
We came on board quite at our best, though feeling rather blue ; '. and we eyed you with suspicion—old transport 82. Our quarters they were hot and cramped, / and cabins all too few, and our impression wasn’t good—of transport 82. Fish for breakfast, fish for tea, oh !, how we cried for stew, the air was filled with curses strong—at transport 82. As time passed by we settled down, the moans, they were but few ; for everything turned out 0. K.— on transport 82. Then came the storm which hours on end, hid skies of azure blue ; but you kept your course, so straight and true, — you transport 82. And from then on the boys all knew, the things that you could do, and we all grew to respect you — friend transport 82. When time has come to say farewell, and again we’re feeling blue, you’ll have done your job—we’ll be proud of you
—old transport 82.
