The Dying Soldier
now you've heard of the tale of Benghaza
where most of the fighting was done
where many a young british soldier
was killed by the old [...] gun
he laid himself up on one elbow
and the blood from his wound it ran red.
and turning to comerades around him
these were the last words he said
oh burry me deep in the desert
under the african sun
oh burry me deep in the desert
my duty to england is done
so they burried him deep in the desert
with allah? to watch o' his grave
they burried him deep in the desert
his young life for england he gave
now when you get back ol' blighty
when the war it is over and won
remember the young brittish soldier
burried under the african sun
where most of the fighting was done
where many a young british soldier
was killed by the old [...] gun
he laid himself up on one elbow
and the blood from his wound it ran red.
and turning to comerades around him
these were the last words he said
oh burry me deep in the desert
under the african sun
oh burry me deep in the desert
my duty to england is done
so they burried him deep in the desert
with allah? to watch o' his grave
they burried him deep in the desert
his young life for england he gave
now when you get back ol' blighty
when the war it is over and won
remember the young brittish soldier
burried under the african sun
