I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier - George Robey[00:00:00]
Ten million soldiers to the war have gone[00:00:16]
Who may never return again[00:00:21]
Ten million mothers' hearts must break[00:00:25]
For the ones who died in vain[00:00:29]
Head bowed down in sorrow in her lonely years[00:00:33]
I heard a mother murmur thro' her tears[00:00:38]
I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier[00:00:44]
I brought him up to be my pride and joy[00:00:49]
Who dares to put a musket on his shoulder[00:00:54]
To shoot some other mother's darling boy[00:00:59]
Let nations arbitrate their future troubles[00:01:04]
It's time to lay the sword and gun away[00:01:09]
There'd be no war today[00:01:14]
If mothers all would say[00:01:17]
I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier[00:01:20]
What victory can cheer a mother's heart[00:01:36]
When she looks at her blighted home[00:01:40]
What victory can bring her back[00:01:44]
All she cared to call her own[00:01:49]
Let each mother answer in the year to be[00:01:54]
Remember that my boy belongs to me[00:01:59]
I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier[00:02:05]
I brought him up to be my pride and joy[00:02:11]
Who dares to put a musket on his shoulder[00:02:16]
To shoot some other mother's darling boy[00:02:21]
Let nations arbitrate their future troubles[00:02:27]
It's time to lay the sword and gun away[00:02:32]
There'd be no war today[00:02:37]
If mothers all would say[00:02:40]
I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier[00:02:43]
