I Was Only 19 (A Walk In The Light Green) (Remaster) - Lee Kernaghan[00:00:00]

Written by：John Schumann[00:00:00]

Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal[00:00:11]

It was a long march from cadets[00:00:17]

The sixth battalion was the next to tour[00:00:21]

And it was me who drew the card[00:00:24]

We did Canungra and Shoalwater before we left[00:00:26]

And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay[00:00:32]

This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean[00:00:37]

And there's me in me slouch hat with me SLR and greens[00:00:43]

God help me I was only nineteen[00:00:48]

From Vung Tau riding Chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat[00:00:59]

I'd been in and out of choppers now for months[00:01:04]

And we made our tents a home V.B. and pinups on the lockers[00:01:09]

And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub[00:01:14]

And can you tell me doctor why I still can't get to sleep[00:01:20]

And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M.16[00:01:25]

And what's this rash that comes and goes[00:01:30]

Can you tell me what it means[00:01:33]

God help me I was only nineteen[00:01:36]

A four week operation when each step can mean your last one on two legs[00:01:47]

It was a war within yourself[00:01:53]

But you wouldn't let your mates down 'til they had you dusted off[00:01:57]

So you closed your eyes and thought about somethin' else[00:02:02]

And then someone yelled out[00:02:08]

Contact and the bloke behind me swore[00:02:09]

We hooked in there for hours then a God almighty roar[00:02:13]

And Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon[00:02:19]

God help me he was goin' home in June[00:02:24]

And I can still see Frankie drinkin' tinnies in the Grand Hotel[00:02:46]

On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau[00:02:50]

And I can still hear Frankie lying screaming in the jungle[00:02:56]

'Til the M******e came and killed the bloody row[00:03:01]

And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears[00:03:06]

And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real[00:03:12]

I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel[00:03:17]

God help me I was only 19[00:03:22]

And can you tell me doctor why I still can't get to sleep[00:03:30]

Any why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet[00:03:36]

And what's this rash that comes and goes[00:03:41]

Can you tell me what it means[00:03:44]

God help me I was only 19[00:03:46]
