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 wi-i-ife And as Billy started to go-o She said keep your pretty head low-ow-ow-ow Billy don't be a hero, come back to me-ee 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 li-ife Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wi-i-ife And as Billy started to go-o She said keep your pretty head low-ow-ow-ow Billy don't be a hero, come back to me-ee I heard his fiancee got a letter That told how Billy died that day-ay The letter said he was a hero She should be proud he died that way I heard she threw the letter away...AM Gold beat high march movie soundtrack pop UK Gold
