文本歌词

The General just gave me a medal oh
I'm a sight for mom to see
But when the news gets round that
I ain't got ole Bill
Some kids gonna think a whole lot less of me
You see she gave me that puppy and said he'd protect me through the night
And if I got hurt he'd go for help or he'd back me up in a fight
He growed all the while
I was trainin' forget him
I never will Cause you'd never see me with right at my heels was
Oklahoma Bill We hit a long ridge one sunup and it seemed like death held all the cards
Cause we payed and payed with lives of men for every hard fought yard
When finally we drove up to the top there wasn't nothin' but death behind
And as we all dug in we all thanked
God though we numbered only nine
And as the snipers switched their guns as darkness closed that hill
My soul companion in the night was
Oklahoma Bill There's no glory in a battle once you've seen its awful cost
But there's glory in the knowledge that your flag is never lost
And yet in the stillness of the nightime and all alone you hold a post
You start cryin' like a baby sittin' there with all the
