《Break The News To Mother》歌词

[00:00:00] Break the News to Mother - Michael Halliwell/David Miller

[00:00:14] While shot and shell were screaming

[00:00:18] Across the battlefield

[00:00:20] The boys in blue were fighting

[00:00:23] Their noble flag to shield

[00:00:27] Then a cry from our brave captain

[00:00:31] Kook Boys

[00:00:31] A flag is down

[00:00:33] Who'll volunteer to

[00:00:36] Save it from disgrace

[00:00:41] I will

[00:00:42] A young boy shouted

[00:00:44] I'll play the flag or die

[00:00:47] Then rushed into the thickest of the fray

[00:00:54] Saved the flag

[00:00:56] But gave his young life

[00:00:58] All for his countrys sake

[00:01:01] We broght him back

[00:01:05] And softly him heard say

[00:01:13] Just break the news to Mother

[00:01:20] She knows how dear I love her

[00:01:26] And tell her not to wait for me

[00:01:32] For I'm not coming home

[00:01:39] Just say there is no other

[00:01:46] Can take the place of Mother

[00:01:52] Then kiss her dear sweet lips for me

[00:02:01] And break the news to her

[00:02:23] From afar

[00:02:25] A noble general

[00:02:27] Had witnessed this brave deed

[00:02:29] Who saved the flag

[00:02:31] Speak up night

[00:02:33] Twas a noble and brave deed

[00:02:37] Then him like son send captain

[00:02:40] He's sinking very fast

[00:02:43] Then slowly turned

[00:02:46] Away to hide a tear

[00:02:51] The general in a moment

[00:02:54] Knelt down beside the boy

[00:02:57] Then gave a cry that

[00:02:59] Touched all hearts that day

[00:03:05] It's my son

[00:03:06] My brave young hero

[00:03:09] I thought you safe at home

[00:03:12] Forgive me

[00:03:14] Father for I ran away

[00:03:26] Just break the news to Mother

[00:03:32] She knows how dear I love her

[00:03:39] And tell her not to wait for me

[00:03:46] For I'm not coming home

[00:03:53] Just say there is no other

[00:04:00] Can take the place of Mother

[00:04:07] Then kiss her dear sweet lips for me

[00:04:16] And break the news to her
