Billy Don't Be a Hero 歌詞
Billy Don't Be A Hero - Paper Lace
Written by：Mitch Murray/Peter Callander
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 fiancé e
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
We 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
Forgetting 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 fiancé e got a letter
That told how billy died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw the letter away
