lyrics

Fifty men in the enemy camp
Sitting out the war
Submit to their country’s call to arms
That they dared not ignore

Cease your futile attempts at escape
The commandant pompously shrugged
By sworn duty they did not stop
And on and on they dug

All heads turned away from the front
Their weapons ready; their orders blunt
Fifty caught in gunfire’s roar
They lost their lives to win the war

Thirty feet beneath the ground
They dug for months on end
‘Til Harry had run far enough
And the fifty did ascend

All heads turned away from the front
Their weapons ready; their orders blunt
Fifty caught in gunfire’s roar
They lost their lives to win the war

Through the trees they disappeared
Under the dark of the moon
Until recaptured one by one
Thwarted all too soon

The old man sighed, slightly annoyed
Mercy he showed not
An order signed in tyrant’s blood
And fifty men were shot

All heads turned away from the front
Their weapons ready; their orders blunt
Fifty caught in gunfire’s roar
They lost their lives to win the war
