Billy Don't Be A Hero

歌詞

The marching band came down along main street the soldiers blue step in behind I looked acrss and there I saw Billy waiting to go and going the line and with her head upon his shoulder his young and lovely fiance from were I stood I saw she was crying and through a tear 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 soldiers blue were traped on a hill side the battle raging all around The seargent cried we've got to hang on boys we've got to hold this piece of ground I need a voluteer to ride up and bring us back some extra men And Billys hand was up in a moment Forgeting 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 fiance got a lettter that told how billy died that day the lettter said he was a hero She said be proud he died that way I heard she threw the letter away
