The Ballad Of Rodger Young 歌詞
The Ballad Of Rodger Young - Burl Ives (伯爾·艾夫斯)
Oh they've got no time for glory in the Infantry
Oh they've got no use for praises loudly sung
But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry
Shines the name shines the name of Rodger Young
Shines the name Rodger Young
Fought and died for the men he marched among
To the everlasting glory of the Infantry
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young
Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen
Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom
Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen
Volunteered volunteered to meet his doom
It was he who drew the fire of the enemy
That a company of men might live to fight
And before the deadly fire of the enemy
Stood the man stood the man we hail tonight
Stood the man Rodger Young
Fought and died for the men he marched among
Like the everlasting courage of the Infantry
Was the courage of Private Rodger Young
On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons
Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell
That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons
Sleeps a man sleeps a man remembered well
Sleeps a man Rodger Young
Fought and died for the men he marched among
In the everlasting spirit of the Infantry
Breathes the spirit of Private Rodger Young
Shines the name Rodger Young
Fought and died for the men he marched among
To the everlasting glory of the Infantry
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young
