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? |
