Billy dont be a hero
The marching band came down along main street - the soldiers blues fell in behind
I looked across and there i saw billy - waiting to go and join the line
and with her head upon his shoulder, his young & lovely fiance
from where i stood - i saw she was crying
and through her tears i heard her say
Billy, don't be a hero - don't be a fool with your life
Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife
and as Billy started to go - she said keep your pretty head lo-o-ow
Billy don't be a hero - come back to me

The soldier blues were trapped on a hill side - the battle raging all around
The seargent cried - "we've got to hang on boys
we've got to hold this piece of ground
I need a volunteer to ride out- and bring us back some extra men"
and billys hand was up in a moment - forgetting all the words she said
she said....

Billy, don't be a hero - don't be a fool with your life
Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife
and as Billy started to go - she said keep your pretty head lo-o-ow
Billy don't be a hero - come back to me
Speak:
I heard his fiance got a letter - that told how billy died that day
the letter said he was a hero - she should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw the letter away...
now you whistle the tune for as long as you like
