[00:20.70] A butcher yes that was my trade
[00:24.19] But the King's shilling is now my fee
[00:28.76] A butcher I may as well have stayed
[00:32.56] For the slaughter that I see
[00:36.48] And the preacher in his pulpit
[00:40.17] Sermoned "Go and fight do what is right"
[00:45.54] But he don't have to hear these guns
[00:49.34] And I bet he sleeps at night
[00:54.21] And I
[00:58.42] And I can't stop shaking
[01:02.35] My hands won't stop shaking
[01:06.90] My arms won't stop shaking
[01:10.77] My mind won't stop shaking
[01:15.58] I want to go home
[01:19.43] Please let me go home
[01:23.99]
[01:25.55] Go home
[01:26.78]
[01:36.95] And I have seen a friend of mine
[01:40.88] Hang on the wire like some rag toy
[01:45.12] Then in the heat the flies come down
[01:49.05] And cover up the boy
[01:52.74] And the flies come down in Gommecourt
[01:56.54] Thiepval Mametz Wood and French Verdun
[02:01.25] If the preacher he could see those flies
[02:05.24] Wouldn't preach for the sound of guns
[02:08.99] And I
[02:13.60] And I can't stop shaking
[02:17.53] My hands won't stop shaking
[02:21.72] My arms won't stop shaking
[02:25.90] My mind won't stop shaking
[02:30.58] I want to go home
[02:34.38] Please let me go home
[02:39.50]
[02:40.56] Go home
