ted egan - only one of the toys lyrics
[intro]
my mother had three brothers who went to world war i
and this song was very very important to her
[verse]
a solider was saying goodbye to his wife
he was marching that day to the war
his little son played with his gallant brigade
of brightly painted soldiers on the floor
the boy looked up from his scene of strife
said “daddy, when to the war you go
do you have a regiment too? do you drill them like i do?”
but his father answered “no”
[chorus]
i’m only one of the toys my boy
i’ll do as i’m told to do
perhaps i’ll fall, forgotten by all
all but your mother and you
i’ll do my best, along with the rest
as i march with the brave old boys
no command is mine, just a number in the line
i’m only one of the toys
no command is mine, just a number in the line
i’m only one of the toys
