"Sailors And Soldiers" lyrics
Sailors and soldiers
Uniform shoulders
They're growing older
Over the sea
Troops they are leaving
Firmly believing
There's no reason for grieving
Over the sea
Herded like cattle
They head for the battle
The rifles will rattle
Over the sea
Far from the banner
Far from the glamor
Far from the planners who sent them to die
Sailors and soldiers
Uniform shoulders
They're growing older
Over the sea
Too young to be shaving
But the flags are waving
For the fury they're braving
Over the sea
Proudly parading
With medals they're laden
But their glory is fading
Over the sea
Far from the banner
Far from the glamor
Far from the planners who sent them to die
Sailors and soldiers
Uniform shoulders
They're growing older
Over the sea
Uniform shoulders
They're growing older
Over the sea
Troops they are leaving
Firmly believing
There's no reason for grieving
Over the sea
Herded like cattle
They head for the battle
The rifles will rattle
Over the sea
Far from the banner
Far from the glamor
Far from the planners who sent them to die
Sailors and soldiers
Uniform shoulders
They're growing older
Over the sea
Too young to be shaving
But the flags are waving
For the fury they're braving
Over the sea
Proudly parading
With medals they're laden
But their glory is fading
Over the sea
Far from the banner
Far from the glamor
Far from the planners who sent them to die
Sailors and soldiers
Uniform shoulders
They're growing older
Over the sea
