《B D B (Alternate Take)》歌词

[00:00:46] The marchin' band came down along Main Street

[00:00:47] The soldier-blues fell in behind

[00:00:48] I looked across and there I saw Billy

[00:00:49] Waiting to go and join the line

[00:00:52] And with her head upon his shoulder

[00:00:54] His young and lovely fiancee

[00:00:55] From where I stood I saw she was cryin'

[00:00:56] And through her tears I heard her say

[00:00:58] Billy don't be a hero don't be a fool with your life

[00:01:53] Billy don't be a hero come back and make me your wife

[00:01:55] And as he started to go she said Billy keep your head low

[00:01:56] Billy don't be a hero come back to me

[00:01:57] The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside

[00:01:58] The battle ragin' all around

[00:01:59] The sergeant cried We've got to hang on boys

[00:02:00] We got to hold this piece of ground

[00:02:03] I need a volunteer to ride up

[00:02:04] And bring us back some extra men

[00:02:06] And Billy's hand was up in a moment

[00:02:07] Forgettin' all the words she said

[00:02:09] She said Billy don't be a hero don't be a fool with your life

[00:02:14] Billy don't be a hero come back and make me your wife

[00:02:44] And as he started to go she said Billy keep your head low

[00:02:45] Billy don't be a hero come back to me

[00:02:46] I heard his fiancee got a letter

[00:02:47] That told how Billy died that day

[00:02:47] The letter said that he was a hero

[00:02:48] She should be proud he died that way

[00:02:49] I heard she threw the letter away
