Old Soldiers Never Die (2022 Remaster) Lyrics
Old Soldiers Never Die - Vaughn Monroe & His Orchestra
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away
There is an old messhall not far away
Where we get pork and beans three times a day
Ham and eggs we never see even when we're on K P
And we are gradually fading away
Old soldiers never die
Never die never die
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away
Privates they love their beer three times a day
Corporals they love their stripes and that ain't hay
Sergeants put you through the mill
They just drill and drill and drill
And they will drill and drill they fade away
Old soldiers never die
Never die never die
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away
Young soldiers shine their shoes three time a day
Young soldiers go on leave they know the way
Young soldiers say goodbye kiss the girls and make them cry
Then the girls all wonder why they fade away
Old soldiers never die
Never die never die
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away
Washington and Grant and Lee were all tried and true
Eisenhower Bradley and MacAuthor too
They will live forever more
Till the world is done with war
Then they'll close that final door
Fading away
Old soldiers never die
Never die never die
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
