billy, don't be a hero - bo donaldson lyrics
the marching 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 fiance
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 billy started to go she said “keep your pretty head low”
billy don’t be a hero “come back to me”
the soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
the battle ragin’ all around
the sergeant cried “we’ve gotta hang on boys
we gotta hold this piece of ground
i need a volunteer to ride out
and bring us back some extra men.”
and billy’s hand was up in a moment
forgetting all the words she said. she said:
billy don’t be a hero
don’t be a fool with your life…
i hard his fiance 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 the letter away
