Deck of Cards Song Lyrics

During world war II
a group of solders was on a long jurney
they arrived on a small town called casino
the next day being Sunday some of the boys went to church
after the preacher had read the prayers the text was taken up
The solders who had prayer books took them up
then one boy, a young private produce a deck of cards
and he spreads them up infront of them
The sargent in charge saw the cards and said solder!
put away those cards
After the service, the solder was put under arrest and brought before the commanding officer
The C.O said sargent!. why you brought this Man here
for playing cards in church sir
the officer look at the solder and said
I hope you have an explanation. If not I will punish you more than any solder ever been punish
now what have you got to say
