Oh my name is francis tolliver I come from liverpool [00:00:05]

Two years ago the war was waiting for me after school [00:00:12]

From belgium and to flanders germany to here [00:00:19]

I fought for king and country I love dear [00:00:26]

Twas christmas in the trenches and the frost so bitter hung [00:00:33]

The frozen fields of france where still no christmas songs were sung [00:00:40]

Our families back in england were toasting us that day [00:00:46]

There brave and glorious lads so far away [00:00:53]

I was lying with my mess mates on the cold and rocky ground [00:01:01]

When across the lines of battle came a most peculiar sound [00:01:08]

Says I now listen up me boys each soldier strained to hear [00:01:15]

As one young german voice sang out so clear [00:01:22]

Hes singing bloody well you know my partner says to me [00:01:29]

Soon one by one each german voice joined in in harmony [00:01:36]

The cannons rested silent and the gas cloud rolled no more [00:01:44]

As christmas brought us respite from the war [00:01:51]

As soon as they were finished and a reverent pause was spent [00:02:13]

God rest ye merry gentlemen struck up some lads from kent [00:02:20]

The next thing sang was stille nach tis silent night says i [00:02:27]

And in two tongues one song filled up that sky [00:02:34]

Theres someone coming towards us now the front line sentry said [00:02:42]

All sights were fixed on one lone figure trudging from their side [00:02:49]

His truce flag like a christmas star shone on the plane so bright [00:02:56]

As he bravely trudged unarmed into the night [00:03:03]

Then one by one on either side walked in to no mans land [00:03:11]

With neither gun nor bayonet we met there hand to hand [00:03:19]

We shared some secret brandy and we wished each other well [00:03:25]

And in a flare lit football game we gave them hell [00:03:32]

We traded chocolates cigarettes and photographs from home [00:03:40]

These sons and father far away from families of their own [00:03:47]

Ton sanders played the squeeze box and they had a violin [00:03:54]

This curious and unlikely band of men [00:04:02]

Soon daylight stole upon us and france was france once more [00:04:25]

With sad farewells we each began to settle back to war [00:04:34]

But the question haunted every heart that lived that wonderous night [00:04:40]

Whose family have I fixed within my sights [00:04:48]

Twas christmas in the trenches and the frost so bitter hung [00:04:55]

The frozen fields of france were warmed the songs of peace were sung [00:05:02]

For the walls theyd kept between us to exact the work of war [00:05:09]

Had been crumbled and were gone forever more [00:05:17]

Oh my name is francis tolliver from liverpool I dwell [00:05:40]

Each christmas comes since world war I have learned its lesson well [00:05:47]

For the one who calls the shots wont be among the dead and lame [00:05:55]

And on each end of the rifle were the same [00:06:02]
