I was only just fifteen, when I took a shilling from the king,
And the Quartermaster winked at me, he knew I'd lied a - bout my age,
I learnt to take apart my gun, and feel tobacco in my lungs,
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!
And as we marched up to the line, 'knew we'd be back by winter time,
But we soon learnt only the blind... could find their way back home,
And all through Deuteronomy, I cursed whatever had made me,
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!
There's no heaven, there's no hell, not as far as I can tell,
There's no Devil, there's no God, only men and mud! | / / / / |
When the brass would come around, we'd stand our feet sunk in the ground,
They'd say we'd made our country proud, but their England was not mine,
And we must be prepared to die, but they forgot to tell us why,
And we would roll our cigar - ettes with Bible pages!
There's no heaven, there's no hell, not as far as I can tell,
There's no Devil, there's no God, only men and mud! | / / / / |
I'd not long turned seventeen, when I took the one that finished me,
And I must have lain so peacefully, be - neath the broken sky,
And so they took my life away, and what would the Chaplain say,
If he knew we rolled our cigar - ettes with Bible pages,
All we had to roll our cigar - ettes was Bible pages!
