O' SERGEANT
O' Sergeant, O' Sergeant, oh what did I do wrong?
I followed all your training,
I followed all your rules
But that rocket came from nowhere
O' Sergeant, I am so sorry that I let you down
Rest easy now Marine,
For it isn't all that bad
And Doc will be here soon
You did just fine tonight
So rest easy now Marine
O' Doc, O' Doc, how bad is it Doc?
It hurts so badly now
And I cannot feel my legs,
Lift me up so I can see
O' Doc, please tell me I'm okay
Easy son, now easy,
It isn't all that bad
So you just take it easy
And here's something for your pain
Rest easy son, and you will be all right
O' Sergeant, O' Sergeant where is Corporal Jones?
He was standing right beside me
When the rocket burst went off
I can see his boot right there, Sergeant
But where is Corporal Jones?
O' Doc, O' Doc, take care of Jonesy first
For he's got a wife and little girl
And Jones is my best friend
So work on Jonesy first
O' Doc, please tell me he's okay
O' Lord, dear Lord, it does not hurt so badly now,
But I'm feeling oh so cold
Please forgive me for all my sins,
Watch over Mom and Dad and little brother Bill
Dear Lord, forgive me, for I am so afraid to die
O' Billy, dear Billy, I know you're only ten
But I hope someday you'll understand
Why I came to this far off land
Remember me sweet Billy, and keep me in your heart
Dear Billy, I miss and love you so
O' Mom, dear Mom, oh how I want to see you now
I need to hug you one more time
But it doesn't hurt now Mom
I am so very sorry that this will make you cry
Dear Mom, I love and miss you so......... goodbye
O' Dad, dear Dad, how I wish that you were here
I need to see you once again
And be your little boy
I tired so hard to make you proud
O' Dad, I am so very sorry, I didn't mean to die...
Doc, hey Doc, are you alright there Doc
You did all that you could do
And I know just how you feel
Why is it always so, that we lose our best young men?
Now come on Doc, I'm sorry, but we're moving out
O' Sergeant, O' Sergeant, there was nothing I could do
They were both so badly wounded
So young, so young, and now they are all gone
I pray that people back home will remember their sacrifice
O' Sergeant, give me one more moment please, for I am trying not to cry
