Billy Dont Be a Hero Video (MV)

The marchin' band came down along main street
The soldier blues fell in behind
I looked across and there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancee
From where I stood I saw she was cryin'
And through her tears I heard her say

Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life
Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wi-i-ife
And as Billy started to go-o
She said keep your pretty head low-ow-ow-ow
Billy don't be a hero, come back to me-ee

The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside
The battle ragin' all around
The sergeant cried, we've gotta hang on boys
We've gotta hold this piece of ground
I need a volunteer to ride out
And bring us back some extra men
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgettin' all the words she said, she said

Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your li-ife
Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wi-i-ife
And as Billy started to go-o
She said keep your pretty head low-ow-ow-ow
Billy don't be a hero, come back to me-ee

I heard his fiancee got a letter
That told how Billy died that day-ay
The letter said he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way
I heard she threw the letter away...
