Three Rules of Discipline and the Eight Rules of Attention (live at Place Des Arts, Montreal) - Pete Seeger

Here's a song from another country

It's a marching song

30 years ago the soldiers of Chiang Kai-shek's army

Were desert to join the red army

And most of them were illiterate

And they have to learn a fews things in a hurry

So there was a song they were supposed to learn

So this song has a peculiar title

The Three Rules of Discipline and the Eight Rules of Attention

They put into the whole thing

Here's how it goes

The verses go on they say always march in step obey orders

Don't take anything from the peasants

Not even a needle or thread without paying for it

Don't molest women help the peasants gather their crops at harvest time

And so on and so on

All in this tune
