They lay in the cool green the grass beneath the bright summer sky Kissing her lips as her tears fall down he tells his lady goodbye My darling dear you are my love but I must leave your side I been called to fight another man's war though I can hardly say why A soldier knows that he must go wherever they tell him to be To desert sands or mountains high or across the deep blue sea Clinging to him she begged don't leave me alone without you I'm afraid I will die But if you must go then let it be so and here my body will lie Head held high he marched off to war, he tried to hide his fear His lady stood and waved goodbye unable to see through her tears A soldier knows that he must go wherever they tell him to be To desert sands or mountains high or across the deep blue sea The battles raged on and on, on the field and in his heart Each night he prayed he would wake up at home, each morn he woke with a start The shot rang out that struck him down,in a pool of blood he did lie He said to his friends, "this is the end I think I'm going to die A soldier knows that he must go wherever they tell him to be To desert sands or mountains high or across the deep blue sea At half past four came a knock on the door, the lady tried to be brave The messenger said Your soldier is dead I'm sorry he could not be saved The lady tried to take in this news, she would never be his wife She pulled out the gun and without further thought swiftly ended her life A soldier knows that he must go wherever they tell him to be To desert sands or mountains high or across the deep blue sea They lay in the cool green grass beneath the bright summer sky
