Jimmy Dean - Oklahoma Bill слова песни
The General just gave me a medal oh I`m a sight for mom to seeBut when the news gets round that I ain`t got ole BillSome kids gonna think a whole lot less of meYou see she gave me that puppy and said he`d protect me through the nightAnd if I got hurt he`d go for help or he`d back me up in a fightHe growed all the while I was trainin` forget him I never willCause you`d never see me with right at my heels was Oklahoma BillWe hit a long ridge one sunup and it seemed like death held all the cardsCause we payed and payed with lives of men for every hard fought yardWhen finally we drove up to the top there wasn`t nothin` but death behindAnd as we all dug in we all thanked God though we numbered only nineAnd as the snipers switched their guns as darkness closed that hillMy soul companion in the night was Oklahoma BillThere`s no glory in a battle once you`ve seen its awful costBut there`s glory in the knowledge that your flag is never lostAnd yet in the stillness of the nightime and all alone you hold a postYou start cryin` like a baby sittin` there with all the ghostsYou feel your buddies are pattin` your back though their guns`re silent and stillIt`s only a dog tryin` to love you my Oklahoma BillI gave my note to the Colonel and I bound a shattered legAnd I said Bill we`re sure in trouble he never whimpered or beggedI could tell he hated to leave me I was the only God he ever knewBut quick as a flash he took of through the night like a fightin` marine would doI kept firin` till help finally came it was him though that saved that hillA dyin` dog had got through the lines my Oklahoma BillThat little ol` kid will always wonder what happened to her dogBut she`ll find out on Judgement Day when she sees the big Skipper`s logWe`ll all walk in and bugles`ll blow and we`ll stand our last revueAnd men who`ve died for men on earth will get their heavenly duesAnd if all brave hearts are there that day I`ll get my greatest thrillWhen I hang this medal around the neck of Oklahoma Bill
