The Ballad of Bull
Sometimes war is killing, sometimes it's saving lives
It's the judgement of faith, it's nothing that man can dictate
Corporal Leslie Allen carried them from Tambu
Saved his brothers in arms, went out and followed through
There and back again, Bull just carried on
Under fire, he carried them out one by one
There and back again, bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay, as he carried them away
Sometimes war is killing, sometimes it's saving lives
From Australia shore, Bull Allen went to war
Sometimes war is saving, sometimes it's taking lives
Thanks to one single man, a dozen more survives
There and back again, Bull just carried on
Under fire, he carried them out one by one
There and back again, bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay, as he carried them away
Some men return from a war in a bag
And yet the world knows the story
Others return unwilling to brag
Alive and humble at heart
No, oh-oh-oh-oh
There and back again, Bull just carried on
Under fire, he carried them out one by one
There and back again, bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay, as he carried them away
It's the judgement of faith, it's nothing that man can dictate
Corporal Leslie Allen carried them from Tambu
Saved his brothers in arms, went out and followed through
There and back again, Bull just carried on
Under fire, he carried them out one by one
There and back again, bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay, as he carried them away
Sometimes war is killing, sometimes it's saving lives
From Australia shore, Bull Allen went to war
Sometimes war is saving, sometimes it's taking lives
Thanks to one single man, a dozen more survives
There and back again, Bull just carried on
Under fire, he carried them out one by one
There and back again, bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay, as he carried them away
Some men return from a war in a bag
And yet the world knows the story
Others return unwilling to brag
Alive and humble at heart
No, oh-oh-oh-oh
There and back again, Bull just carried on
Under fire, he carried them out one by one
There and back again, bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay, as he carried them away
