[00:29:500]	The marchin' band came down along Maine Street
[00:34:100]	The soldier blues fell in behind
[00:37:800]	I looked across and there I saw Billy
[00:42:300]	Waiting to go and join the line
[00:46:700]	And with her head upon his shoulder
[00:50:300]	His young and lovely fiancee
[00:54:700]	From where I stood I saw she was cryin
[00:59:300]	And through her tears I heard her say
[01:02:400]	Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life“
[01:10:500]	Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife“
[01:18:400]	And as Billy started to go
[01:22:300]	she said keep your pretty head low
[01:27:600]	Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me
[01:40:500]	The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
[01:44:600]	The battle raging all around
[01:48:400]	The sergeant cried, we've got to hang on, boys
[01:52:600]	We've gotta hold this piece of ground
[01:56:700]	I need a volunteer to ride out
[02:00:500]	And bring us back some extra men
[02:05:100]	And Billy's hand was up in a moment
[02:09:100]	Forgettin' all the words she said, she said
[02:15:200]	Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life
[02:23:500]	Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife
[02:30:900]	And as Billy started to go
[02:35:700]	she said, keep your pretty head low
[02:40:200]	Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me
[02:48:600]	I heard his fiancee got a letter
[02:53:300]	That told how Billy died that day
[02:57:600]	The letter said that he was a hero
[03:01:400]	She should be proud he died that way
[03:05:600]	I heard she threw the letter away

[00:29:500]	The marchin' band came down along Maine Street
[00:34:100]	The soldier blues fell in behind
[00:37:800]	I looked across and there I saw Billy

[01:10:500]	Billy, don' t be a hero, come back and make me your wife"
