The Forgotten Soldier Boy - Bill Monroe (比尔·门罗)
I'm just a poor ex soldier
That's broken down and blue
I'm fought out in the great world war
For the old red white and blue
I left my parents and my girl I love
To France did go
And fought out on the battlefield through the hunger
Sleet and snow
I saw my buddies dying
And some shell shocked and torn
Although we never faltered
At the battle of Amarne
And we were told when
We left home we'd be heroes of the land
So we came back and found
No one would lend a helping hand
They promised gold and silver
And bid us all adieu
They said they'd welcome us back home
When the terrible war was through
We fought until the war was over
They said we'd won the fight
But we have no job or money
No place to sleep at night
They called us wandering boys bums
Asking for shelter and bread
Although we fought in no man's land
And a many poor boy is dead
So listen to my story and lend a helping hand
To the poor forgotten soldier boy
Who fought to save our land
