The soldier, he fell and he lay in the dirt.
There he did pray all alone,
Till his comrades came nearer and they said,
"Lad, don't fear, we've come for to carry you home,"

Chorus:
"Nay," said the soldier, "I cannot go back.
For me it just wouldn't seem right.
Stand me up, put me sword in me hand,
And let me go on with the fight."

So they took him and bound him to the tree by the river
Where the battle was coming his way,
Then he clutched at his sword with his last dying breath
These were the words he did say:

"For God and my faith gladly I'll live,
I'll fight for the truth after all.
'Tis better to die for a cause that is right
Than live for no reason at all."

[Repeat chorus twice]

[Repeat first verse]
