Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
It was silent. His body sunk into the earth.
His soul long gone from there. He had died
A gun upon his arms.
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
He had died with a home that his dream would
live on.
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
Later they had told us he had died with courage
and valor.
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
The shots continue he fell by the
tenth.
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun
A ******* grasped in his stone
cold hand
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
He saw a line of faces, brown, black
and white. Some were smiling others,
crying
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
His body sunk into the cold, wet ground
As God opened his arms, for a boy
drenched in blood.
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun*
A group waited in the wings. Soldiers
from many places. Who fought to keep
their shores safe.
Thank You
