Billy Don't Be A Hero - Paper Lace

The marchin' 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 Billy head lo-o-ow"

"Billy don't be a hero come back to me"

The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside

The battle raging all around

The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on boys"

"We got to hold this piece a'ground"

"I need a volunteer to ride up"

"And bring us back some extra men"

And Billy's hand was up in a moment

Forgettin' 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 Billy head lo-o-ow"

"Billy don't be a hero come back to me"

I heard his fiancee 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 that letter away
