[00:31.15]Cannons roared in the valley they thundered
[00:32.72]While the guns lit up the night
[00:35.34]Then it rained and both sides wondered
[00:36.78]Who is wrong and who is right
[00:38.59]`
[00:38.90]
[00:50.18]On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
[00:52.49]Bloody hands and broken back
[00:58.42]When they fire see him pirouette solo
[01:02.61]Jump in time to the rat a tat
[01:06.99]`
[01:07.18]What a night though it's one of seven
[01:09.62]
[01:11.30]What a night for the dancing dead
[01:15.87]What a night to be called to heaven
[01:20.37]What a picture to fill your head
[01:24.31]
[01:24.86]`
[01:41.58]By the wall in a silouette standing
[01:46.01]Through a flash of sudden light
[01:50.20]Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
[01:54.64]Paper square to his heart pinned tight
[02:02.52]`
[02:08.49]Gather round reluctant marksmen
[02:09.68]One of them to take his life
[02:16.99]With a smile he gives them pardon
[02:19.80]Leaves the dark and takes the light
[02:23.92]
[02:25.24]`
[02:25.55]
[03:10.40]They dispatch their precious cargo
[03:14.09]Knock him back right off his feet
[03:18.57]And they pray may no one follow
[03:20.57]
[03:22.76]Better still to face the beast
[03:25.20]`
[03:25.69]
[03:27.63]When the field has become a garden
[03:31.23]And the wall has stood the test
[03:35.96]Children play and the dogs run barking
[03:40.27]Who would think or who would guess
