Song For The Dead Lyrics by Randy Newman

Song For The Dead Lyrics

    Deep in the field
    A lone soldier stands
    With mud on his boot
    And blood on his hands
    They left him behind
    To bury the dead
    And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership

    Pardon me, boys
    If i sleep off my pack
    And sit for a while with you
    I'd like to explain
    Why you fine young men had to be blown apart
    To defend this mud hole

    Now our country, boys
    Though it's quite far away
    Found itself jeopardized
    Endangered, boys
    By these very gooks
    Who lie here beside you
    Forever near
    Forever

    We'd like to express
    Our deep admiration
    For your courage under fire
    And your willingness to die
    For your country, boys
    We won't forget
    We won't forget
