Peat Bog Soldiers Lyrics

Peat Bog Soldiers lyrics

Far and wide as the eye can wander

Heath and bog are everywhere

Not
a bird sings out to cheer us

Oaks are standing, gaunt and bareChorus



We are the peatbog soldiers

We're marching with our spades 

To the bog



Up and down the guards are pacing

No one, no
one can go through

Flight would mean a sure death facing

Guns and
barbed wire greet our view



But for us there is no complaining

Winter will in time be past

One day we shall cry rejoicing

"Homeland dear, you're mine at last!"Final Chorus



Then will the
peatbog soldiers

March no more with spades 

To the bog
