john edmond - nobody was there lyrics

Loading...

he was a ragged boy when at his father’s knee
became an orphan like a fledgling from a tree
and at the barrack fence he found his only thrill
the sights and sounds of the parade ground and the soldiers at their drill

and the band played on
and the soldiers marched along
and they sang the sweet banana song
n0body was there to share, to turn to and to say “i’m going to be a soldier too one day.”

he was a ragged youth he worked the fields of grain
a simple man of peace in sun and wind and rain
and they came in the dead of night as only jackals can
and they k!lled his woman and child and the white haired old man

and life goes on
and the soldiers marched along
and they sang the sweet banana song
n0body was there to hear his oath of sweet revenge, and the deaths he swore one day he would avenge

far from the ragged boy, the soldier that he made
no one to see him at the p-ssing out parade
one day an ambush and a bullet tears his chest
and dying as he fires, poor jackals meet their death

and the war raged on
and the soldiers marched along
and they sang the sweet banana song
n0body was there to care, to be there by his side
n0body was there when the ragged soldier died

n0body was there, n0body was there, n0body was there, n0body was there
