A Hundred Men (Album Version) - Glenn Yarbrough

A hundred men went off to war

A hundred men

Their hearts were heavy

Their heads were high

As they kissed the ones

They loved goodbye

Some were eager some were scared

Nobody knew and nobody cared

When a hundred men went to war

Then a thousand men went off to war

A thousand men

A few now said that it wasn't right

And a few said prayers

In their beds at night

For their hearts so heavy

And the heart so high

Who kiss the one he loved goodbye

But of those so eager

And those so scared

A few now knew a few now cared

When a thousand men went off to war

Ten thousand men

Then a million men went off to war

A million men

Now fear came a creeping down many a street

Borne on the dust of a million feet

And many now said that it wasn't right

And many said prayers

In their beds at night

When ten million men went to war

Then all mankind went off to war

Yes all mankind

And the people fought

And the people cried

And the people prayed

But the people died

And fear like a flood

Covered every street

Mixed with the blood

On a billion feet

All now said that it wasn't right

And prayed as one

Through the fiery night

Their hearts were heavy

As they watched the sun

And kissed the ones

They loved goodbye

Now none were eager

But all were scared

Now they knew that

They should have cared

When a hundred men went off to war

A hundred men
