1
The marchin' band came down along Main Street
2
The soldier-blues fell in behind
3
I looked across and there I saw Billy
4
Waiting to go and join the line
5
And with her head upon his shoulder
6
His young and lovely fiancee
7
From where I stood, I saw she was cryin'
8
And through her tears, I heard her say
9
"Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
10
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
11
And as he started to go, she said, "Billy, keep your head low"
12
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
13
The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
14
The battle ragin' all around
15
The sergeant cried, "We've got to hang on, boys"
16
"We got to hold this piece of ground"
17
"I need a volunteer to ride up
18
And bring us back some extra men"
19
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
20
Forgettin' all the words, she said
21
She said, "Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life"
22
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
23
And as he started to go she said, "Billy, keep your head low"
24
"Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me"
25
I heard his fiancee got a letter
26
That told how Billy died that day
27
The letter said that he was a hero
28
She should be proud he died that way
29
I heard she threw the letter away
