Billy, Don't Be A Hero - Paper Lace[00:00:00]
The marchin' band came down along Maine street[00:00:29]
The soldier blues fell in behind[00:00:32]
I looked across and there I saw Billy[00:00:37]
Waiting to go and join the line[00:00:41]
And with her head upon his shoulder[00:00:45]
His young and lovely fiancee[00:00:49]
From where I stood I saw she was cryin'[00:00:53]
And through her tears I heard her say[00:00:57]
Billy don't be a hero don't be a fool with your life[00:01:01]
Billy don't be a hero come back and make me your wife[00:01:09]
And as Billy started to go she said keep your pretty head low[00:01:17]
Billy don't be a hero come back to me[00:01:26]
The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside[00:01:39]
The battle raging all around[00:01:43]
The sergeant cried we've gotta hang on boys[00:01:47]
We've gotta hold this piece of ground[00:01:51]
I need a volunteer to ride out[00:01:55]
And bring us back some extra men[00:01:59]
And Billy's hand was up in a moment[00:02:03]
Forgettin' all the words she said she said[00:02:08]
Billy don't be a hero don't be a fool with your life[00:02:14]
Billy don't be a hero come back and make me your wife[00:02:22]
And as Billy started to go she said keep your pretty head low[00:02:30]
Billy don't be a hero come back to me[00:02:39]
I heard his fiancee got a letter[00:02:47]
That told how Billy died that day[00:02:51]
The letter said that he was a hero[00:02:56]
She should be proud he died that way[00:03:00]
I heard she threw the letter away[00:03:05]
