Willie was a sailor |
|
He sailed on the sea |
|
And Willie said a sailor's life |
|
Is the life for me |
|
But they sent him into battle |
|
For to lay down his life |
|
And Willie said a sailor's life is not for me |
|
So Willie joined the air force |
|
He learnt how to fly |
|
And Willie said how happy |
|
He was flying in the sky |
|
But they sent him into battle |
|
For to lay down his life |
|
And Willie said the air force is no life for me |
|
Now Willie got to thinking |
|
People were plotting for his life |
|
So he bought himself a watchtower |
|
And locked himself inside |
|
But the tower looked o'er a battlefield |
|
Where men laid down their lives |
|
And Willie had to laugh but then he cried |
