We love you Tanforanny

WE LOVE YOU TANFORANNY

You're the greatest camp of all

We love your pretty maidens

Slender, fat and some so tall

We love your lousy weather

Your barracks we adore

We lover your rugged roads

And we love your open door

Where the steeled crowned, gun toting soldiers

Keep their watch oer the camp so full

It is there we would be in our camp by the sea,

fivery breeze bearing lofts of bull

It is here nature gives of her rarest

It is home sweet home to us,

And we know when we die, we shall -

breath our last sigh

In our foggy Tanforanny
