[00:00.00]Forgotten Soldier Boy - Lilly Brothers/Don Stover
[00:10.27]I'm just a poor ex-soldier that's broken down and blue
[00:20.55]I fought out in the Great War for
[00:25.15]The old red white and blue
[00:29.40]I left my parents and my girl
[00:33.74]I loved to France did go
[00:38.05]And fought out on the battlefield
[00:42.60]Through hunger sleet and snow
[00:47.00]I saw my buddies dying and
[00:51.76]Some shellshocked and torn
[00:55.77]Although we never faltered
[01:00.20]At the battle of Amarne
[01:04.51]And we were told when we left home
[01:08.86]We'd be heroes of the land
[01:13.12]So we came back and found no one
[01:17.65]Would lend a helping hand
[01:40.87]They promised gold and silver and bid us all adieu
[01:49.43]They said they'd welcome us back home
[01:53.87]When the terrible war was through
[01:58.15]We fought until the war was over
[02:02.59]They said we'd won the fight
[02:06.85]But we have no job or money
[02:11.21]No place to sleep at night
[02:34.45]They called us wandering boys bums
[02:39.16]Asking for shelter and bread
[02:43.18]Although we fought in no man's land
[02:47.50]And a-many poor
[02:48.87]Boy is dead
[02:51.65]So listen to my story and lend a helping hand
[03:00.27]To the poor forgotten soldier boy
[03:04.71]Who fought to save our land
