I'll just go ahead and put the lyrics here: | Deep down in his trench, The private dreamed, Of sailing on the sea, Riding the waves! A wind at his face! But when his feet had left the shore, that face would turn quite pale! even in seas as flat as you please, he would wind up at the rail! But even though his love of the sea, Was never meant to be! As he sits in his trench, You can hear that poor lad sing! "Yo Ho Ho! It's the Sailors Life for Me! A soggy old trench, A stone for a bench, Is not my cup of tea!" "Yo Ho Ho! Sailing wide and free!" If only his belly agreed. A soldier's life is no life, For the son of a sailor's son! Marching to here! Marching to there! But when his company sailed to war, His ship had not left the bay! The boy became ill, ever so ill, Even the seagulls turned away! But even though his love of the sea, Was never meant to be! As he sits in his trench, You can hear the poor lad sing! "Yo Ho Ho! It's the Sailors Life for Me! A soggy old trench, A stone for a bench, Is not my cup of tea!" "Yo Ho Ho! Sailing wide and free!" If only his belly agreed. Thar she blows! | Also here the soundcloud of the higher quality version of the song made by the artist; soundcloud.com/stanlepard/the-sailors-life-for-me
When i first loaded up this game and i saw german soldiers gunning down waves of british soldiers while hearing this soundtrack, I knew this was going to be a good game
Listening to this brings back good memories ... to the point where I wish I could go back in time, to those happier days so I wouldn’t have to deal with todays bulls..t
This may be super obvious, but I think it's a really powerful message the soldier would rather be horribly seasick constantly than to be in a trench of WWI.
I'm so happy to see the HD version get released on Xbox! I had so much fun playing the original when it was out on game pass until it got removed. I was so bummed out especially since the second game didn't work on Xbox and kept freezinf
They've announced remastered versions of both Toy Soldiers and Toy Soldiers: Cold War coming Spring & Summer respectively and they'll be on Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
oh my god i'm literally in Bothell, WA right now @______@ that was weird it took me 47 seconds of looking at the picture for me to actually read the words
Actually the eras are historically connected because WW1 is what led to WW2 and undoubtedly the Holocaust then the Cold War afterwards and today's time.

This is an old song about a Private who wants to be in the navy, but is too seasick to do so. How is it a "white" song? They didn't even state any race in the lyrics.
I'll just go ahead and put the lyrics here:
| Deep down in his trench,
The private dreamed,
Of sailing on the sea,
Riding the waves! A wind at his face!
But when his feet had left the shore,
that face would turn quite pale!
even in seas as flat as you please,
he would wind up at the rail!
But even though his love of the sea,
Was never meant to be!
As he sits in his trench,
You can hear that poor lad sing!
"Yo Ho Ho! It's the Sailors Life for Me!
A soggy old trench,
A stone for a bench,
Is not my cup of tea!"
"Yo Ho Ho! Sailing wide and free!"
If only his belly agreed.
A soldier's life is no life,
For the son of a sailor's son!
Marching to here! Marching to there!
But when his company sailed to war,
His ship had not left the bay!
The boy became ill, ever so ill,
Even the seagulls turned away!
But even though his love of the sea,
Was never meant to be!
As he sits in his trench,
You can hear the poor lad sing!
"Yo Ho Ho! It's the Sailors Life for Me!
A soggy old trench,
A stone for a bench,
Is not my cup of tea!"
"Yo Ho Ho! Sailing wide and free!"
If only his belly agreed.

I wonder what the song means by "if only his belly agreed"
Freddy210hill It implies that despite his desire to go sailing, he suffers from incredibly horrific and easily-triggered seassickness :3
+Vietcong Samurai "a soggy old trench with a stone for a bench" sound better
Vietcong Samurai omhggggg
I've been playing this game for 9 years and have only just found out the lyrics, so thanks alot the song is much more enjoyable now!
only one who wanted the sequel to be ww2 instead of the cold war.
no
you're not
The market is already over-saturated with good bad and in-between WWII games. Do we *really* need any more?
Yes.

The Cold War, the Korean War, and the Spanish Civil War all seem a bit under-rated in terms of popularity, why not explore a new genre?
clyax113 I didn't think of it that way.
When i first loaded up this game and i saw german soldiers gunning down waves of british soldiers while hearing this soundtrack, I knew this was going to be a good game
Pre-building my music playlist for Battlefield 1.
+Lashmer fuck sake that is why I came back to this game holy shite.
+Lashmer Yo dog..... you the real MVP..
Cool
I'm working on a playlist for toy soldiers
bf1 is garbage this game is 100x more realistic and fun
Flashback:
You’re in 5th grade and your friend invited you to play vs with you on a Friday night
Toy Soldiers is fucking awesome. I like the first one better. The second one is good,but it isn't as challenging or long as the first.
No bad words doomy
@@rosadeluna07 technically your name could be a bad word ya nancy
Listening to this brings back good memories ... to the point where I wish I could go back in time, to those happier days so I wouldn’t have to deal with todays bulls..t
WW1 and WW2 error has the best men and sadly the last good men.
Even more relevant today.
If hadn't been for the Treaty Of Versailles Hitler and WW2 would've not happened but as we know the Allies fucked up.
Cringe
when you played Toy Soldiers 24 on Xbox 360 was a time to be alive
One of the best scores ever.
“A soggy ol’ trench with a stone for a bench is not my cup of tea…”
Who else is here for the nostalgia
This may be super obvious, but I think it's a really powerful message the soldier would rather be horribly seasick constantly than to be in a trench of WWI.

Oh my god nostalgia man. I can play this again because of Xbox game pass thank you xbox😂😂
I just wish they’d bring this game to the Nintendo Switch
They've announced remastered versions of both Toy Soldiers and Toy Soldiers: Cold War coming Spring & Summer respectively and they'll be on Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.

😱
admit it. this was the first song you heard when you booted the game up.
2022 Strong!
2024 and I’m sitting here still missing this game
Brother man it got a re release on ps4 ps5 possibly the other consoles too but I don't own em to check
epic game and love this song
I'd want a set like this :)
Sad this game is dead. I tried to play with Xbox live and even after 30 minutes I didn’t join a game :(
oh my god i'm literally in Bothell, WA right now @______@
that was weird it took me 47 seconds of looking at the picture for me to actually read the words
What a great game in its day unfortunately the servers are now down
childhood
YES! Finally someone who thinks the same thing :D
instead of a stone for a bench I thought he said a home for revenge
Really quite an underrated game!
I think exactly the same thing! And the cold war is not as attractive as the WWI.
Actually the eras are historically connected because WW1 is what led to WW2 and undoubtedly the Holocaust then the Cold War afterwards and today's time.
i want a submod for The Great War Redux that replaces the main menu song with this
Holy shit the German leader commented to me.
Booker and elizabeth traveling to under sea city
Anyone else looking up ww1 era music for battle field 1
I'll get the heavy sticks.
Im trying to figure out if I can use this in a trailer for bf1
pog
Be got nayed nayed really hard fam
Indeed. They should have made a WWII one
hey could I borrow the music it for a tips and tricks how to play to soldier
Nathanael Mortensen keep playing boot camp go mission to mission and look at guides
Lyrics!
Trevor Dudley Deep down in his trench,
The private dreamed,
Of sailing on the sea,
Riding the waves! A wind at his face!
But when his feet had left the shore,
that face would turn quite pale!
even in seas as flat as you please,
he would wind up at the rail!
But even though his love of the sea,
Was never meant to be!
As he sits in his trench,
You can hear that poor lad sing!
"Yo Ho Ho! It's the Sailors Life for Me!
A soggy old trench,
A stone for a bench,
Is not my cup of tea!"
"Yo Ho Ho! Sailing wide and free!"
If only his belly agreed.
A soldier's life is no life,
For the son of a sailor's son!
Marching to here! Marching to there!
But when his company sailed to war,
His ship had not left the bay!
The boy became ill, ever so ill,
Even the seagulls turned away!
But even though his love of the sea,
Was never meant to be!
As he sits in his trench,
You can hear the poor lad sing!
"Yo Ho Ho! It's the Sailors Life for Me!
A soggy old trench,
A stone for a bench,
Is not my cup of tea!"
"Yo Ho Ho! Sailing wide and free!"
If only his belly agreed.
Thar she blows! |
"Sorry lad, conscription, what can you do?"
disliced wite song
What do you mean?
This is an old song about a Private who wants to be in the navy, but is too seasick to do so. How is it a "white" song? They didn't even state any race in the lyrics.
