Cry Soldier Cry

Cold wind in the morning

A telegram arrives

Arriving with no warning

Another mother cries

Husbands, sons, and brothers

Hailed the call to war

Blinded by the others

The promise one for all

What's it all in aid of

Obeying the command?

Cold and tired and hungry

Dying for some land

Why don't you cry, soldier, cry?

Another letter, you should know better

Cry, soldier, cry

There will be sorrow until tomorrow

So cry, soldier, cry

The fear and all the sadness

Of what it has become

In this world of madness

Another soldier gone

Salute the highest honour

The folding of the flag

Finally, the end is

Another body bag

And all the time your comrades

Their backs against the wall

A band of brothers fighting

One by one they fall

Why don't you cry, soldier, cry?

Another letter, you should know better

Cry, soldier, cry

There will be sorrow until tomorrow

So cry, soldier, cry

What's it all in aid of

Obeying the command?

Cold and tired and hungry

Dying for some land

Why don't you cry, soldier, cry?

Another letter, you should know better

Cry, soldier cry

There will be sorrow until tomorrow

So cry, soldier, cry

Another letter, you should know better

Cry, soldier, cry

There will be sorrow until tomorrow

So cry, soldier, cry
