1
It was a war bond
2
That payed the doctor
3
When he was born it wasn't easy
4
He had a fever
5
And he was dying His dad was fighting across the sea
6
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
7
When he ran into a man who was high
8
On Gun powder and a federal order
9
That says you've got to fight and die
10
He answered I'm a runnin'
11
From the people who are gunnin' down
12
The people who are running for life
13
I just wanted to be free
14
To be all that I was promised
15
By the fathers of our fathers long before.
16
Now it's gettin' kind of queasy
17
And I'm feelin' kind of seasick
18
I think that it's time for me to go.
19
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
20
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
21
When he ran into a man who was high
22
On Gun powder and a federal order
23
That says you've got to fight and die
24
When the man said surrender
25
He kept right on a'goin'
26
He could see his brother Jesus by his side
27
And they knew he was'nt fakin'
28
When the bullet started quakin'
29
Through the body of a peacemaker who tried
30
And he died for his country and he was not mistaken
31
Takin' his body back home
32
He would'nt go into the far eastern jungle
33
Takin' his body back home
34
He just wanted to be free
35
To be all that he was promised
36
By the fathers of our fathers long before.
37
And he died for his country and he was not mistaken
38
Takin' his body back home
39
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
40
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
41
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
42
He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
