The Siegfried Line Lyrics

Oh the guns are silent on the western wall
And we clean the rifles that we never use at all
And we're writing letters just to pass the time
And the days go by on the Siegfried line

Oh they say the English are giving up the war
And we heard the Russians won't last through 44
But a long time soldier has an open mind
And a man grows old on the Siegfried line

Soon, soon, they say the war will be over
Ooo
Home, home, we will be home in the summer
Nahh, nahh

Oh we huddle by the campfire
And we drink the beer
And we know the flag we fly must last a thousand years
And we eat Dutch chocolate
And we drink French wine
And they feed us well on the Siegfried line

Soon, soon, they say the war will be over
Ooo
Home, home, we will come home in the summer
Nahh, nahh

They say the war will be over soon

Soon, soon, they say the war will be over Home, home, we will come home in the summer

And we hold on to each other Like brother to brother We've promised our mothers we'll write And we would all go down together, but Soon, soon, they say the war will be over

"Oh they say the English are giving up the war"

Not quite sure where that came from. Wasn't happening in any year of WW2 but certainly not in '44.
