hamish imlach - i didn't raise my son to be a soldier lyrics

[verse 1]
i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier
i raised him up to be my pride and joy
why should he put a musket to his shoulder
to k!ll another mother’s darling boy?
why should he fight in someone else’s quarrel?
it’s time to throw the sword and gun away
there would be no war today if the nations all would say
no i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier

[verse 2]
i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier
to go fighting in some far+off foreign land
he may get k!lled before he’s any older
for a cause that he will never undеrstand
why should he fight another rich man’s battles
whilе they stay home and wile their time away?
let those with most to lose fight each other if they choose
for i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier

[verse 3]
i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier
to go fighting heathens round the h+rn
if god required to prove that boys were bolder
they’d have uniforms and swords when they were born
why should we have wars about religion
when jesus came to teach us not to k!ll
do zulus and hindus not have the right to choose?
for i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier
[verse 4]
i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier
i raised him up to be a gentle man
to find a sweet young girl and love and hold her
bring me some grandchildren when they can
why can’t we decide that the empire
is just as large as it requires to be?
and i’d rather lose it all then to see my laddy fall
for i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier

[verse 5]
i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier
i raised him up to be my pride and joy
why should he put a musket to his shoulder
to k!ll another mother’s darling boy?
why should he fight in someone else’s quarrel?
it’s time to throw the sword and gun away
there would be no war today if the nations all would say
no i didn’t raise my son to be a soldier
