Bombardier (July 1, 1916)

Hands raised Volunteers Fresh faced Tender years [pre-Chorus] And when you’re done, another one Will run that gun She’s your Verdun, she can’t be won Oh brother, keep that vow ‘cause you can’t hide now [Chorus] Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier You tried to burn it out Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier You tried to blow it down Bombardier, bombardier…bombardier It’s not in your hands Midnight Firefight Town Too real Wound won’t Heal [Pre-Chorus] And when you’re done, another one Will run that gun You’re at the Somme, she can’t be won Oh mother, keep that crown You can fly now [Chorus] Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier You tried to tear me down Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier You tried to wipe me out Bombardier, bombardier…bombardier It’s out of your hands And when you’re done, another one Will run that gun Dead and gone, to Avalon Oh mother, keep that crown You can fly now [Chorus] Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier You tried to run away Bombardier, bombardier, bombardier, bombardier And now you’ll rue the day “Vous ne les laisserez pas passer, mes camarades” Your soul is rent and out, and flying up, so long
