Davy went away
Said he wouldn’t stay
He wouldn’t be long
Mama say good-bye
But please don’t cry
You gotta be strong
Be strong, So long
Be strong, So long
Davy’s gone away
said he wouldn’t stay
He wouldn’t be long
Mama said good-bye
Not a tear in her eye
She had to be strong
Be strong, So long
Be strong, So long
And when the men come
Marching to your door,………. in uniform
They look just like they did
In all the dreams……you had before
For his Mama so loved the world
She gave her only begotten son
And so it goes……soldier on
Soldier on
David went away
He said he wouldn’t stay
He wouldn’t be long
Dad said good-bye
With pride in his eye
He had to be strong
Be strong, So long
Be strong, So long
And when the men come
Marching to your door,….. in uniform
They look just like they did
In all the dreams…..you’ve had before
For they loved the world so much
They gave their only begotten son
And so it goes……… soldier on
Soldier on

"Soldier On" – sounds like it could be Clapton backed by the Beatles. I like the feel of it – friendly and sad – not confrontational |
