My name is Francis Tolliver, I come from Liverpool.

Two years ago the war was waiting for me after school.

To Belgium and to Flanders, to Germany to here

I fought for King and country I love dear.

'Twas Christmas in the trenches, where the frost so bitter hung,

The frozen fields of France were still, no Christmas song was sung

Our families back in England were toasting us that day

``God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen'' struck up some lads from Kent

The next they sang was ``Stille Nacht.'' ``Tis `Silent Night','' says I

And in two tongues one song filled up that sky
