| [00:20.70] |
A butcher yes that was my trade |
| [00:24.19] |
But the King's shilling is now my fee |
| [00:28.76] |
A butcher I may as well have stayed |
| [00:32.56] |
For the slaughter that I see |
| [00:36.48] |
And the preacher in his pulpit |
| [00:40.17] |
Sermoned "Go and fight do what is right" |
| [00:45.54] |
But he don't have to hear these guns |
| [00:49.34] |
And I bet he sleeps at night |
| [00:54.21] |
And I |
| [00:58.42] |
And I can't stop shaking |
| [01:02.35] |
My hands won't stop shaking |
| [01:06.90] |
My arms won't stop shaking |
| [01:10.77] |
My mind won't stop shaking |
| [01:15.58] |
I want to go home |
| [01:19.43] |
Please let me go home |
| [01:23.99] |
|
| [01:25.55] |
Go home |
| [01:26.78] |
|
| [01:36.95] |
And I have seen a friend of mine |
| [01:40.88] |
Hang on the wire like some rag toy |
| [01:45.12] |
Then in the heat the flies come down |
| [01:49.05] |
And cover up the boy |
| [01:52.74] |
And the flies come down in Gommecourt |
| [01:56.54] |
Thiepval Mametz Wood and French Verdun |
| [02:01.25] |
If the preacher he could see those flies |
| [02:05.24] |
Wouldn't preach for the sound of guns |
| [02:08.99] |
And I |
| [02:13.60] |
And I can't stop shaking |
| [02:17.53] |
My hands won't stop shaking |
| [02:21.72] |
My arms won't stop shaking |
| [02:25.90] |
My mind won't stop shaking |
| [02:30.58] |
I want to go home |
| [02:34.38] |
Please let me go home |
| [02:39.50] |
|
| [02:40.56] |
Go home |
