William Henry
They're slaughtering the cattle
Five hundred heads or more
They're slaughtering the cattle
Cos them prices so damn low
Seems like this world will know no resting place
Til it's all been laid to waste
I've seen the young men off to battle
Walking down that dirt road
Ive seen the young men off to battle
They're carrying their heavy load
Seems like this world will know no peaceful ways
Til it's all been blown away
I've seen and heard
The thundering herd
Men off to wars
Without a cause
The cattle burning
The young men falling
Now the river rolls fast and dark
Above the high watermark
William Henry was my friend
Back in our school days
William Henry was my friend
They flew his body back today
Seems like this world will know no resting place
Til it's all been laid to waste
Five hundred heads or more
They're slaughtering the cattle
Cos them prices so damn low
Seems like this world will know no resting place
Til it's all been laid to waste
I've seen the young men off to battle
Walking down that dirt road
Ive seen the young men off to battle
They're carrying their heavy load
Seems like this world will know no peaceful ways
Til it's all been blown away
I've seen and heard
The thundering herd
Men off to wars
Without a cause
The cattle burning
The young men falling
Now the river rolls fast and dark
Above the high watermark
William Henry was my friend
Back in our school days
William Henry was my friend
They flew his body back today
Seems like this world will know no resting place
Til it's all been laid to waste
