THIS IS A STORY ABOUT BILLY AND SUE
4
THEY WERE as IN LOVE AS were any TWO
5
And then BILLY HAD TO DIE
6
AND WHEN YOU HEAR THE REASON WHY --
7
YOU'LL HANG YOUR HEAD AND CRY
8
BILLY AND SUE MET THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
9
AND EVER SINCE LIVED BY THE GOLDEN RULE
10
Because WHEN YOU DO UNTO OTHERS
11
WHAT YOU WOULDN'T WANT DONE TO YOU
12
YOU'D HAVE TO BE A FOOL
13
This mUTUAL AGREEMENT of LOVE AND TRUST
14
Made them TRAVEL THE ROAD TO MARRIAGE OR BUST
15
And WHEN BILLY WAS OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE A WIFE
16
HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY---
17
AND HIS WAY OF LIFE
18
BRIDGE- SUE'S LETTERS CAME EVERY DAY
19
Strengthened his cause, they showed HIM THE WAY
20
TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY AND THE GIRL HE loves---
21
THAT'S A SOLDIER'S ONLY pay
22
But THEN BILLY HEARD NO more FROM SUE
23
HE WAS WORRIED SICK BUT WHAT COULD HE DO
24
THE BULLETS WERE screamin' AS HE HUGGED THE GROUND AND BACK
25
HOME SUE WAS runnin' ROUND
26
BILLY WAS getting LESS AND LESS STRONG
27
HIS HOPE HIS FAITH WAS ALMOST GONE
28
And THEN LIKE A MIRACLE A LETTER APPEARED
29
BILLY TORE THE LETTER OPEN AND it READ,
30
"DEAR JOHN"
31
A LOOK CAME OVER BILLY THAT WOULD SCARE the GHOST
32
Of a million single SOLDIERS -- COAST TO COAST
33
And EVEN THO THE AIR WAS FILLED WITH LEAD
34
BILLY JUMPED UP
35
THEY SHOT HIM DEAD
36
BILLY WAS BURIED IN A FARAWAY GRAVE THAT READ,
37
"FOR HIS COUNTRY -- HIS LIFE HE GAVE"
38
BUT THE EPITAPH -- WAS ONLY A PART
39
HE DIDN'T DIE FROM A BULLET BUT HE DIED
40
FROM A BROKEN HEART
