Billy, Don't Be A Hero(Album Version) - Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods
作词:Peter Callander/Mitch Murray
作曲:Peter Callander/Mitch Murray
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 fiancd
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 lo-o-ow
Billy don't be a hero come back to me
The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried We've got to hang on boys
We got to hold this piece a'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 lo-o-ow
Billy don't be a hero come back to me
I heard his fiancee 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 that letter away
