Billy Dont Be A Hero
Lyricist:Peter Callander, Mitch Murray
The marchin' band came down along main street The soldier blues fell in behind I looked across and there I saw Billy Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder His young and lovely fiancee From where I stood I saw she was cryin' And through her tears I heard her say
Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife And as Billy started to go She said, 'Keep your pretty head low' Billy don't be a hero, come back to me
The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside The battle ragin' all around The sergeant cried, we've gotta hang on boys Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com We've gotta hold this piece of ground
I need a volunteer to ride out And bring us back some extra men And Billy's hand was up in a moment Forgettin' all the words she said, she said
Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife And as Billy started to go She said, 'Keep your pretty head low' Billy don't be a hero, come back to me
I heard his fiancee got a letter That told how Billy died that day The letter said he was a hero She should be proud he died that way I heard she threw the letter away
