"All hail to Dorothy! The wicked witch is dead!" [from Double071]
-------------------------------
...Sorry Double071
I believe the question referred to what the guards were chanting as they marched around the castle. IMDB--The movie folks say this about differing interpretations of the chant:
"They include "All we own, we owe her"; "Oh we love the old one"; and "Oh we loathe the old one." The screenplay shows that the correct lyrics are "O-Ee-Yah! Eoh-Ah!." The chant acts as a sort of audio inkblot."
But one must consider that IMDB is a user-written source, which may not be accurate. I have searched the screenplay and have found no such lyrics for the Winkies' marching chant. (The guards were called the Winkies).
My BEST ANSWER: I personally knew Meinhardt Raabe, who played the munchkin Coroner, ("She's most sincerely dead!") ...he, obviously WAS THERE... and he told me they were chanting, "Oh-We-Love...The-Old-One --Oh-We-Love...The-Old-One!" referring to the Wicked Witch Of The West. (Margaret Hamilton).
I trust the WITNESS to the filming more than an internet database (IMDB).

Why are the marching men called Winkies in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
That they're inhabitants of the Winkie country is why the marching men are called 'Winkies' in 'The Wizard of Oz'.

They're under the rule of the Wicked Witch of the West. They're forced to work for her as guards, until she dies under a bucketful of water thrown by Dorothy Gale.
