《The Lads Who Fought & Won》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lads Who Fought & Won - The Real McKenzies

[00:00:14] That Serbian man

[00:00:16] Assassinated Archduke Ferdinand

[00:00:20] With what would transpire

[00:00:22] Would change the world

[00:00:23] And set Europe afire

[00:00:32] On one side the Czar and the King

[00:00:35] And on the other stood

[00:00:36] The Kaiser and Ottoman thang

[00:00:39] The boys and the men and the girls

[00:00:41] Were armed and mobilized

[00:00:42] Their forces aligned

[00:00:45] They crawled through the mud

[00:00:46] And they cut through the wire

[00:00:48] A constant assault of artillery fire

[00:00:51] The curtain of shrapnel

[00:00:53] Took the flesh from the bone

[00:00:54] They fell in the field

[00:00:56] And never got home

[00:00:58] They were the lads

[00:01:00] Who fought and won

[00:01:04] They were the lads

[00:01:06] Who fought and won

[00:01:16] Up over the bridge

[00:01:18] A heavy fortress lies

[00:01:19] Atop of the ridge

[00:01:23] Bristling with guns

[00:01:24] Austro-Hungarian Empire dug in

[00:01:29] They fought through the night

[00:01:30] Like the devil at dawn

[00:01:32] The enemy captured

[00:01:33] Or dead on the ground

[00:01:35] It wasn't achieved without terrible loss

[00:01:38] Posthumous award of Victoria Cross

[00:01:41] They were the lads

[00:01:44] Who fought and won

[00:01:47] They were the lads

[00:01:50] Who fought and won

[00:02:08] They were the lads

[00:02:10] Who fought and won

[00:02:14] They were the lads

[00:02:16] Who fought and won

[00:02:20] They were the lads

[00:02:22] Who fought and won

[00:02:26] They were the lads

[00:02:29] Who fought and won
