Lyrics

[00:07] Listen all you people
[00:10] Try and understand
[00:13] You may be a soldier
[00:16] Woman, child or man
[00:19] But there won't be many coming home
[00:25] No, there won't be many coming home
[00:31] Oh, there won't be many
[00:34] Maybe ten out of twenty
[00:38] But there won't be many coming home
[00:44] Now the old folks will remember
[00:47] On that dark and dismal day
[00:50] How their hearts were choked with pride
[00:53] As their children marched away
[00:56] Now the glory is all gone
[01:00] They are left alone
[01:03] And there won't be many coming home
[01:09] No, there won't be many coming home
[01:15] Oh, there won't be many
[01:18] Maybe five out of twenty
[01:21] But there won't be many coming home
[01:27] Look real closely at the soldier
[01:30] Coming at you through the haze
[01:33] He may be the younger brother who ran away
[01:39] And before you kill another
[01:43] Listen to what I say
[01:46] Oh, there won't be many coming home
[01:52] Oh, there won't be many coming home
[01:58] Oh, there won't be many
[02:02] There may not be any
[02:04] But there won't be many coming home
[02:10] If they all came back but one
[02:13] He was still some mother's son
[02:18] And there won't be many coming home
[02:24] Oh, there won't be many coming home
[02:30] Oh, there won't be many coming home
[02:36] Oh, there won't be many coming home...
