Our Brave Boys
In a foreign land
They fight the foe
But who they are
Do we really know
The politicians say …
But is it really so
Our brave boys
They fight and die
For freedom’s cause
In support of whose
Archaic laws
Come soon the time
When we withdraws
Our brave boys
A mother’s son
Does his bit
Patriotic
To the hilt
But what’s it’s worth
At the end if it for
Our brave boys
A politician’s gain
Or freedom found
Our soldier boys
Of stark renown
When will you be
Homeward bound
Our brave boys
From me I thank you
For what you have done
For my freedom’s sake
Those battles won
I salute you
My old son
Our brave boys.
