pre>sailors and soldiers

Uniformed shoulders

They're growing older

Over the sea



The troops they are leaving

Firmly believing

No reason for greiving



Far from the banners,

Far from the glamour,

Far from the planners,

Who sent them to die



Herded like cattle

They head for the battle

Their rifles will rattle

Over the sea



Too young to be shaving

Yet the flags they are waving

For the fury they are braving

Over the sea



Proudly parading

With their medals they are

But their glory is fading

Over the sea



Sailors and soldiers

Sailors and soldiers

Sailors and soldiers

&c...
