A lone soldier stands
 With mud on his boot
 And blood on his hands
 They left him behind
 To bury the dead
 And to say a few words on behalf of the leadership

 Pardon me  boys
 If I slip off my pack
 And sit for awhile with you
 I'd like to explain
 Why you fine young men had to be blown apart
 To defend this mud hole

 Now our country  boys
 Though it's quite far away
 Found itself jeopardized
 Endangered, boys
 By these very gooks
 Who lie here beside you
 Forever near
 Forever

 We'd like to express
 Our deep admiration
 For your courage under fire
 And your willingness to die
 For your country, boys
 We won't forget
 We won't forget
