歌词
The marchin' band came down along Main Street
The soldier-blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
From where I stood I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say
"Billy don't be a hero don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy don't be a hero come back and make me your wife"
And as billy started to go she said "keep your Billy head lo-o-ow"
"Billy don't be a hero come back to me"
The soldier-blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around
The sergeant cried "We've got to hang on boys"
"We got to hold this piece a' ground"
"I need a volunteer to ride up"
"And bring us back some extra men"
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said
She said
"Billy don't be a hero don't be a fool with your life"
"Billy don't be a hero come back and make me your wife"
And as billy started to go she said "keep your Billy head lo-o-ow"
"Billy don't be a hero come back to me”
I heard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw that letter away
