Rodger Young - Jimmy Reeves[00:00:00]
Written by:Frank Loesser[00:00:01]
On July 31st 1943 a bloody round in the battle for[00:00:02]
The Solomon Islands was being fought in the tangled[00:00:06]
Jungle of the island of New Georgia[00:00:09]
This is the story of one of the young men who fought[00:00:11]
And died there[00:00:13]
This song is respectfully dedicated to those heroic[00:00:15]
Infantrymen who like Rodger Young have sacrificed[00:00:17]
Their lives that their nation might remain forever free[00:00:21]
Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen[00:00:27]
Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom[00:00:37]
Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen[00:00:47]
Volunteered volunteered to meet his doom[00:00:56]
Volunteered Rodger Young[00:01:06]
Fought and died for the men he marched among[00:01:16]
In the everlasting courage of the infantry[00:01:26]
Was the courage of Private Rodger Young[00:01:35]
On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons[00:01:45]
Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell[00:01:55]
That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons[00:02:06]
Sleeps a man sleeps a man remembered well[00:02:15]
Sleeps a man Rodger Young[00:02:25]
Fought and died for the men he marched among[00:02:35]
In the everlasting glory of the infantry[00:02:44]
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young[00:02:54]
