《I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier》歌词

[00:00:00] I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier - George Robey

[00:00:16] Ten million soldiers to the war have gone

[00:00:21] Who may never return again

[00:00:25] Ten million mothers' hearts must break

[00:00:29] For the ones who died in vain

[00:00:33] Head bowed down in sorrow in her lonely years

[00:00:38] I heard a mother murmur thro' her tears

[00:00:44] I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier

[00:00:49] I brought him up to be my pride and joy

[00:00:54] Who dares to put a musket on his shoulder

[00:00:59] To shoot some other mother's darling boy

[00:01:04] Let nations arbitrate their future troubles

[00:01:09] It's time to lay the sword and gun away

[00:01:14] There'd be no war today

[00:01:17] If mothers all would say

[00:01:20] I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier

[00:01:36] What victory can cheer a mother's heart

[00:01:40] When she looks at her blighted home

[00:01:44] What victory can bring her back

[00:01:49] All she cared to call her own

[00:01:54] Let each mother answer in the year to be

[00:01:59] Remember that my boy belongs to me

[00:02:05] I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier

[00:02:11] I brought him up to be my pride and joy

[00:02:16] Who dares to put a musket on his shoulder

[00:02:21] To shoot some other mother's darling boy

[00:02:27] Let nations arbitrate their future troubles

[00:02:32] It's time to lay the sword and gun away

[00:02:37] There'd be no war today

[00:02:40] If mothers all would say

[00:02:43] I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier
