If you turn left instead of right You will pick yourself a fight By just following orders, following somebody’s orders, Oh We.. Held a patrol up in the night I took a man with my own life Couldn’t wait for the order, we acted in order Oh my dear John You set sail in March for Spain You packed your bags and changed your name You didn’t take any orders, you write your own order I envy that Flipped a coin and struck a match and I was gone, man I love you and I’ve held here for all I can When you read this, I’ll be by the light of the moon Heading to the Cape where we set sail for last June I miss you deeply and I long for a time when We can get blind and sing our songs like old friends Your last letter gave me a heavy heart my dear Jack So I’ll be humming our song for you when the skies black I share your wish my brother John And though our memories linger on I’ve crossed through the border, crossed over the border, Oh I’ve Seen too many unholy nights Spoiling plots and starting fights I can’t see the border, too far from the border My only wish for you dear man Is that you carry out are plan This is my last order, please follow my order, so here I lie I have turned the ship south sailing back to you Jack We are three months from the coast just make your way back Don’t give up now my sweet brother we must beat on For our sails, must hang together just like in our song As I write to you in this letter we make for first light I will see you in November to make wrong right I still hold the lucky sliver knife you gave me And I’ll not forget the day in France in you saved me
