There Won't Be Many Coming Home |
| Listen all you people |
| Try and understand |
| You may be a soldier |
| Woman, child or man |
| But there won’t be many coming home |
| No, there won’t be many coming home |
| Oh, there won’t be many |
| Maybe ten out of twenty |
| But there won’t be many coming home |
| Now the old folks will remember |
| On that dark and dismal day |
| How their hearts were choked with pride |
| As their children marched away |
| Now the glory is all gone |
| They are left alone |
| And there won’t be many coming home |
| No, there won’t be many coming home |
| Oh, there won’t be many |
| Maybe five out of twenty |
| But there won’t be many coming home |
| Look real closely at the soldier |
| Coming at you through the haze |
| He may be the younger brother who ran away |
| And before you kill another |
| Listen to what I say |
| Oh, there won’t be many coming home |
| Oh, there won’t be many coming home |
| Oh, there won’t be many |
| There may not be any |
| But there won’t be many coming home |
| If they all came back but one |
| He was still some mother’s son |
| And there won’t be many coming home |
| Oh, there won’t be many coming home |
| Oh, there won’t be many coming home |
| Oh, there won’t be many coming home… |
