In a green hallow where a river sings
 Tiny valley where the blue bells ring
 There's a young soldier under the clouds
 His mouth is open and the light rains down
 
 And the light rains down
 And the crows come round
 To the two red holes
 In his right side, oh
 In his right side, oh
 
 Sleeping in the sun his hand on his breast
 Nape of his neck in the blue watercress
 He's just a kid and he never knew
 He would be the sleeper in the valley so soon
 
 So soon, so soon
 And the crows they swoon
 At the two red holes
 In his right side, oh
