Bragg Billy Tender Comrade Lyrics

Tender Comrade Lyrics

What will with do when the war is over, tender comrade
When we lay down our
weary guns
When we return home to our wives and families
And look into
the eyes of our sons
What will you say of the bond we had, tender
comrade
Will you say that we were brave
As the shells fell all around
us
Or that we wept and cried for our mothers
And cursed our
fathers
For forgetting that all men are brothers
Will you say that we
were heroes
Or that the fear of dying among strangers
Tore our innocence
and false shame away
And from that moment on deep in my heart I knew
That
I would only give my life for love
Brothers in arms in each others
arms
Was the only time that I was not afraid
What will with do when the
war is over, tender comrade
When we cast off these khaki clothes
And go
our separate ways
What will you say of the bond we had
Tender comrade
