Paper Lace - Billy Don`t Be a Hero слова песни
The marching 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".
Thesoldier blues were trapped on a hillside.
The battle ragin` all around.
The sergeant cried "We`ve gotta hang on boys
Wegotta 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
Forgetting all the words she said. She said:
Billy don`t be a hero
don`t be a fool with your life. . . .
I hard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day
The letter said that he was a kero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw fhe letter away.
