about

A tribute by Graeme Murray

lyrics

I’ve watched those flickering films of what you’ve done
You and your pals
So many of you
So many of you
Were just young boys

From the playing fields of Eton
From the factories and farms
To the poppy fields of Flanders
Answered the butcher’s call to arms

Sign up! Sign up for an adventure
And it’s off to France
Oh happy days
You were answering a call from a general on a wall
Who dared you to ignore his gaze

Where did you get your courage from?
To climb those ladders and make that run
Into a place where the generals never come
To do your duty and charge those guns

Where did you get your courage from?
To climb those ladders and make that run
Into a place where the generals never come
To do your duty and charge those guns


In the mud you drowned in glory to the skirl of the piper
At night you cried for mother as you sheltered from the sniper
But when morning came and whistles blew
And field guns screamed and rained on you
You climbed that ladder and charged those guns

And as you ran into the crossfire
Did you really think you’d live
As your pals fell all around you
Giving all they had to give
Did you fear you'd die a virgin
Or make it home alive

Where did you get your courage from?
To climb those ladders and make that run
Into a place where the generals never come
To do your duty and charge those guns

Where did you get your courage from?
Could I climb that ladder and make that run
I guess I’ll never know thanks to what you all have done
Where did you get your courage from?
