A Rose Of Red (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]
Back to the rear of battle[00:00:06]
A digger boy was gay[00:00:09]
Thoughts of home across the sea[00:00:12]
Filled his heart today[00:00:15]
No thought of danger lingered[00:00:19]
In the soldier's head[00:00:23]
As loudly did he sing of love of love and roses red[00:00:25]
I have a childhood sweetheart[00:00:33]
Who waits so patiently[00:00:36]
A rose of red is in her hair[00:00:39]
To show her love for me[00:00:42]
We'll build a home together[00:00:46]
When I return from war[00:00:49]
With roses red a homely site growin' round the door[00:00:52]
The soldier boy kept singing[00:01:14]
His heart was warm today[00:01:17]
When from the trees a vicious crack and[00:01:20]
Death was on it's way[00:01:23]
The happy boy stopped singing[00:01:27]
And nothing we could do[00:01:30]
The air was cold he lay so still[00:01:33]
The sniper's aim was true[00:01:36]
We picked him up so gently[00:01:40]
And this is what was seen[00:01:44]
A rose of red from a sniper's shot[00:01:46]
Across his shirt of green[00:01:49]
The bullet travelled onward[00:01:54]
Deadly in it's flight[00:01:57]
A girl so sad her love has gone[00:02:00]
A rose had died tonight[00:02:03]
