Billy Don't Be A Hero - Eric Donaldson[00:00:00]
The marchin' band came down along Main Street[00:00:16]
The soldier - blues fell in behind[00:00:20]
I looked across and there I saw Billy[00:00:24]
Waiting to go and join the line[00:00:28]
And with her head upon his shoulder[00:00:32]
His young and lovely fiancd [00:00:36]
From where I stood I saw she was cryin'[00:00:40]
And through her tears I heard her say[00:00:44]
"Billy don't be a hero [00:00:47]
Don't be a fool with your life"[00:00:50]
"Billy don't be a hero[00:00:55]
Come back and make me your wife"[00:00:58]
And as he started to go[00:01:03]
She said "Billy [00:01:06]
Keep your head lo-o-ow"[00:01:07]
"Billy don't be a hero come back to me"[00:01:11]
The soldier - blues were trapped on a hillside[00:01:23]
The battle raging all around[00:01:27]
The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on boys"[00:01:31]
"We got to hold this piece a'ground"[00:01:35]
"I need a volunteer to ride up"[00:01:38]
"And bring us back some extra men"[00:01:42]
And Billy's hand was up in a moment[00:01:47]
Forgettin' all the words she said[00:01:51]
She said[00:01:55]
"Billy don't be a hero [00:01:56]
Don't be a fool with your life"[00:01:59]
"Billy don't be a hero [00:02:04]
Come back and make me your wife"[00:02:07]
And as he started to go she said "Billy [00:02:12]
Keep your head lo-o-ow"[00:02:16]
"Billy don't be a hero come back to me"[00:02:20]
I heard his fiancee got a letter[00:02:28]
That told how Billy died that day[00:02:32]
The letter said that he was a hero[00:02:36]
She should be proud he died that way[00:02:40]
I heard she threw that letter away[00:02:44]
