• When we were young you told me soldier boy that you would go to war
    and that you told me not to worry.
    That you'd be fine and try not to shed a tear.

    Soldier boy oh soldier boy why did you have to go?
    Now I'm breaking my promise to you.
    I'm crying oh soldier boy cause I miss you.
    Why did you have to go oh soldier boy.

    Seasons have come and seasons have gone yet you never returned home.
    Then one day I hear the news and tears start running down my face.
    Soldier boy oh soldier boy you will never return home.
    Your up with the angels with white feathery wings.

    Soldier boy oh soldier boy we will meet again.
    But not on mother earth but in the sky above.
    So soldier boy oh soldier boy we will meet again in the sky with wings of white.
