Death of a soldier
When was that? the |
When was that? The |
I knew that man before |
I can tell you over |
A soldier a serviceman |
When we were young, |
Came home and joined |
But we grew old as |
The story was told of |
As the coffin lowered |
Of courage or stupidity |
The widow wiped a tear |
Lives were lost, just |
The old man held out a |
Young men of Australia | round her to make |
The funeral was held |
An old soldier long |
The widow almost fell |
Remembers the |
He had survived the |
A hero at least in |
Was never the same |
that were attending |
