"Sailors And Soldiers" as written by and Leon Jessel Ballard Macdonald....
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
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
