Billy Don't Be a Hero - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)[00:00:00]
The marching band came down along main street[00:00:27]
The soldier blues fell in behind[00:00:30]
I looked across and there I saw Billy[00:00:35]
Waiting to go and join the line[00:00:39]
And with her head upon his shoulder[00:00:43]
His young and lovely fiancee[00:00:47]
From where I stood I saw she was crying[00:00:51]
And through her tears I heard her say[00:00:55]
Billy don't be a hero,[00:00:59]
Don't be a fool with your life[00:01:02]
Billy don't be a hero,[00:01:07]
Come back and make me your wife[00:01:10]
And as Billy started to go,[00:01:15]
She said keep your pretty head low[00:01:19]
Billy don't be a hero, come back to me[00:01:23]
The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside[00:01:36]
The battle raging all around[00:01:40]
The sergeant cried, we've gotta hang on boys[00:01:44]
We've gotta hold this piece of ground[00:01:48]
I need a volunteer to ride out[00:01:52]
And bring us back some extra men[00:01:57]
And Billy's hand was up in a moment[00:02:01]
Forgettin' all the words she said, she said[00:02:05]
Billy don't be a hero,[00:02:11]
Don't be a fool with your life[00:02:14]
Billy don't be a hero,[00:02:19]
Come back and make me your wife[00:02:22]
And as Billy started to go,[00:02:26]
She said keep your pretty head low[00:02:30]
Billy don't be a hero, come back to me[00:02:35]
I heard his fiancee got a letter[00:02:44]
That told how Billy died that day[00:02:48]
The letter said he was a hero[00:02:52]
She should be proud he died that way[00:02:57]
I heard she threw the letter away[00:03:01]
