《The Ballad of Rodger Young》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Rodger Young - Burl Ives

[00:00:05] Oh they've got no time for glory in the Infantry

[00:00:10] Oh they've got no use for praises loudly sung

[00:00:15] But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry

[00:00:20] Shines the name shines the name of Rodger Young

[00:00:26] Shines the name Rodger Young

[00:00:31] Fought and died for the men he marched among

[00:00:36] To the everlasting glory of the Infantry

[00:00:41] Lives the story of Private Rodger Young

[00:00:46] Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen

[00:00:51] Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom

[00:00:56] Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen

[00:01:01] Volunteered volunteered to meet his doom

[00:01:06] It was he who drew the fire of the enemy

[00:01:11] That a company of men might live to fight

[00:01:16] And before the deadly fire of the enemy

[00:01:22] Stood the man stood the man we hail tonight

[00:01:27] Stood the man Rodger Young

[00:01:32] Fought and died for the men he marched among

[00:01:37] Like the everlasting courage of the Infantry

[00:01:42] Was the courage of Private Rodger Young

[00:01:48] On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons

[00:01:56] Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell

[00:02:04] That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons

[00:02:13] Sleeps a man sleeps a man remembered well

[00:02:23] Sleeps a man Rodger Young

[00:02:29] Fought and died for the men he marched among

[00:02:35] In the everlasting spirit of the Infantry

[00:02:40] Breathes the spirit of Private Rodger Young

[00:02:45] Shines the name Rodger Young

[00:02:51] Fought and died for the men he marched among

[00:02:56] To the everlasting glory of the Infantry

[00:03:01] Lives the story of Private Rodger Young
