All the guns are silent on the Western wall

And they cleaned the rifles that we never use it all

And we're writing letters just to pass the time 

And the days go by on The Siegfried Line



Oh, they say the English have given up the war

And we heard the Russians won't last through ‘44

But a longtime soldier has an open mind 

And a man grows old on The Siegfried Line



Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh

Home, home, we will be home in the summer, no, no



Oh, we light the campfire and we drank the beer

And we know the flag we fly must last a thousand years

And we eat Dutch chocolate and we drink French wine

And they feed us well on The Siegfried Line



Soon, soon they say the war will be over, oh, oh

Home, home, we will come home in the summer, la, la, la

(We will come home, we will come home, we will come home, come home)
