Rodger Young - Jim Reeves[00:00:00]

On July 31st 1943 a bloody round in the battle for the Solomon Islands[00:00:02]

Was being fought in the tangled jungle of the island of New Georgia[00:00:06]

This is the story of one of the young men who fought and died there[00:00:11]

This song is respectfully dedicated to those heroic infantrymen[00:00:14]

Who like Roger Young have sacrificed their lives[00:00:18]

That their nation might remain forever free[00:00:22]

Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen[00:00:27]

Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom[00:00:36]

Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen[00:00:46]

Volunteered volunteered to meet his doom[00:00:56]

Volunteered Roger Young[00:01:06]

Fought and died for the men he marched among[00:01:15]

In the everlasting courage of the infantry[00:01:25]

Was the courage of Private Roger 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[00:02:05]

Sleeps a man sleeps a man remembered well[00:02:14]

Sleeps a man Roger Young[00:02:24]

Fought and died for the men he marched among[00:02:34]

In the everlasting glory of the infantry[00:02:44]

Lives the story of Private Roger Young[00:02:54]
