Billy, Don't Be A Hero

In the style of

Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods

Lyrics

the marching 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 fianc�e

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 he
started to go
she said billy
keep your 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 gotta hold
this piece of ground

i need a volunteer
to ride up
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 he
started to go
she said billy
keep your head low
billy don't be a hero
come back to me

i heard his fianc�e
got a letter
that told how billy
died that day

the letter said
that he was a hero
she should be proud
he died that way
i heard she threw
the letter away
