Billy, Don't Be A Hero - (Tribute to Paper Lace) - Studio Allstars (录音室群星)[00:00:00]
The marchin' band[00:00:26]
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[00:00:34]
Waiting to go and join the line[00:00:38]
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 cryin'[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 he started to go she said "Billy [00:01:14]
Keep your head lo-o-ow"[00:01:20]
"Billy don't be a hero come back to me"[00:01:24]
The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside[00:01:36]
The battle raging all around[00:01:40]
The sergeant cried[00:01:44]
"We've got to hang on boys"[00:01:45]
"We got to hold this piece a'ground"[00:01:48]
"I need a volunteer to ride up"[00:01:52]
"And bring us back some extra men"[00:01:56]
And Billy's hand was up in a moment[00:02:00]
Forgettin' all the words she said[00:02:04]
She said[00:02:08]
"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 he started to go she said "[00:02:26]
Keep your Billy head lo-o-ow"[00:02:31]
"Billy don't be a hero [00:02:35]
Come back to me"[00:02:38]
I heard his fiancee got a letter[00:02:44]
That told how Billy died that day[00:02:48]
The letter said that he was a hero[00:02:52]
She should be proud he died that way[00:02:56]
I heard she threw that letter away[00:03:01]
