paper lace - billy don't be a hero lyrics
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 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’ve 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
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 pretty head low
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 he was a hero
she should be proud he died that way
i heard she threw the letter away
