And the Beat Went On
Listen to poem:
A drummer a soldiers son
Resplendent as he beat that drum
Leading men to war one by one
His fear he must overcome
Resplendent as he beat that drum
As grown men fell with cries of pain
His fear he must overcome
As his comrades they were slain
As grown men fell with cries of pain
The drummers beat went on and on
As his comrades they were slain
The battle outcome was not foregone
The drummers beat went on and on
A braver boy you will never find
The battles outcome was not foregone
A great example to all mankind
A braver boy you will never find
Leading men to war one by one
A Great example to all mankind
A drummer a soldiers son.
