BYE BYE BILLY

Bye bye Billy please don't forget me 
Wish you farewell as you cross the sea
Arriving no doubt in a new foreign shore 
That's what happens in the name of war 

Bye bye Billy write to me when you can 
I thank God daily I wasn't born a man 
Think of me Billy as I will think of you 
Those romantic times we had at Waterloo 

Bye bye Billy it's going to be hard I know 
The front I'll put on will just be for show 
Get home safe Billy and then it will be
A far better world that includes you and me
