Captain, Captain |
Captain, Captain, I’ll follow gladly |
My country’s honour to uphold |
But sir tell me |
Is it the duty of the young to die to save the old? |
My mamma’s home |
She’s softly crying |
She prays long for me at night |
My father walks around so proudly |
But inside he’s bent with fright |
Sister smiles at all the young men |
She doesn’t know what war’s about |
My little brother plays at soldiers |
All too soon he’ll find out |
Captain, Captain, I’ll follow gladly |
My country’s honour to uphold |
But Sir tell me |
Is it the duty of the young to die to save the old? |
World War One killed my grandfather |
My uncle died in World War Two |
No-one died in Korea |
I guess the family’s ovrdue |
I want to live to get back hom sir |
Get a job, live quietly |
I want to find a girl to love me |
Settle down, raise a family |
Captain, Captain, I’ll follow gladly |
My country’s honour to uphold |
But sir tell me |
Is it the duty of the young to die to save the old? |
