John's Song Lyrics

You were healthy young men
And you were friends
You knew each other as if you were brothers
Since you went to school
You made your own rules
Then you came to the college
To extend your knowledge

You received the invitation
In a blue envelope
You had to fight for your nation
And you went there with hope

Hey come on John
Come and sing us your song
Of honour and glory
While your friends have all gone
Sing sing us your song
Keep on singing alone
Of honour and glory
While your friends have all gone

You were standing there in your uniform
Said goodbye to your mother
Saluted your father
?I'll be soon back home?
You stood there and smiled
But the war was to cruel
It shot down your pride

You received the invitation
In a blue envelope
You had to fight for your nation
And you went there with hope

Hey come on John
Come and sing us your song
Of honour and glory
While your friends have all gone
Sing sing us your song
Keep on singing alone
Of honour and glory
While your friends have all gone
