Billy Don't Be A Hero
Paper Lace

The marching band came down along main street.

The soldier blues fell in behind.

I looked across and there I saw Billy

Waiting to go and join the line.

And with her head upon his shoulder

His young and lovely fiancee.

From where I stood I saw she was cryin'

And through her tears I heard her say:

Billy don't be a hero

Don't be a fool with your life.

Billy don't be a hero Come back and make me your wife.

And as Billy started to go she said Keep your pretty head low

Billy don't be a hero Come back to me.

Thesoldier blues were trapped on a hillside.

The battle ragin' all around.

The sergeant cried We've gotta hang on boys

Wegotta hold this piece of ground

I need a volunteer to ride out

And bring us back some extra men.

And Billy's hand was up in a moment

Forgetting all the words she said. She said:

Billy don't be a hero

Don't be a fool with your life. .. .

I hard his fiancee got a letter

That told how Billy died that day

The letter said that he was a kero

She should be proud he died that way

I heard she threw fhe letter away.
