|
The marching band came down along main street
|
the soldiers blue step in behind
|
I looked acrss and there I saw Billy
|
waiting to go and goin the line
|
and with her head upon his shoulder
|
his young and lovely fiance
|
from were I stood I saw she was crying
|
and through a tear I heard her say
|
|
(chorus)
|
"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 Billy started to go
|
she said "keep your pretty head low
|
Billy don't be a hero come back to me"
|
|
The soldiers blue were traped on a hill side
|
the battle raging all around
|
The seargent cried "we've got to hang on boys
|
we've got to hold this peice of land
|
I need a voluteer to ride up
|
and bring us back some extra men"
|
And Billys hand was up in a moment
|
Forgeting all the words she said
|
|
She said
|
(chorus)
|
|
I heard his fiance got a lettter
|
that told how billy died that day
|
the lettter said that he was a hero
|
she should be proud he died that way
|
I heard she threw the letter away
|
|
(chorus)
