A Heroes Burial
Lay him by the tree stump he'll be shaded by the wall
He might then rest forever not til next time Jerry call
Lay him deep and cover him in stones as well as soil
Our comrade is deserving of our labours and our toil
For he today has saved us, his bravery unsurpassed
He took the bullets for us and he battled to the last
He was our shield and our weapon our leader and decoy
He shall never see his medal nor his just born little boy
But he shall know his comrades.... appreciated him
Now heave those spades my boys and let the burial begin.
