G played lightly.
The colonel said "these bodies stink"
Won't someone come and drag them away
We tried to clean em' out but the more I stare
And the English colonel looks the other way
Oh the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
Well I ran for the trench but I'd no time to speak
Well my heart said "yes" but my head said "no"
When the English colonel said "its time to go"
He said "what's a few men?"
said "what's a few men?"
said "what's a few men?"
said "what's a few men?"
The colonel's job is never done
So he declares time out on Christmas day
We held the enemy in our arms
And we ploughed each others dead into the clay
Oh the lord said that death will be no longer
And all of these things will pass away
There'll be no sorrow and there'll be no pain
And we'll swap cigarettes on Christmas day
Well my heart said "yes" but my head said "no"
When the English colonel said "its time to go"
