[mojaveman]

Lay me down in the cold cold ground,
where before many more have gone.

Lay me down in the cold cold ground,
where before many more have gone.

When they come I'll stand my ground,
stand my ground I'll not be afraid.

Thoughts of home take away my fears,
sweat and blood hide my veil of tears.

Once a year say a prayer for me,
close your eyes and remember me.

Never more shall I see the sun,
for I fell to a German gun.

Lay me down in the cold cold ground,
where before many more have gone.

Lay me down n the cold cold ground,
where before many more have gone.

Eerily well sung in the movie "We were soldiers once and young".
