[00:00:00] Rodger Young - Jimmy Reeves

[00:00:01] Written by：Frank Loesser

[00:00:02] On July 31st 1943 a bloody round in the battle for

[00:00:06] The Solomon Islands was being fought in the tangled

[00:00:09] Jungle of the island of New Georgia

[00:00:11] This is the story of one of the young men who fought

[00:00:13] And died there

[00:00:15] This song is respectfully dedicated to those heroic

[00:00:17] Infantrymen who like Rodger Young have sacrificed

[00:00:21] Their lives that their nation might remain forever free

[00:00:27] Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen

[00:00:37] Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom

[00:00:47] Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen

[00:00:56] Volunteered volunteered to meet his doom

[00:01:06] Volunteered Rodger Young

[00:01:16] Fought and died for the men he marched among

[00:01:26] In the everlasting courage of the infantry

[00:01:35] Was the courage of Private Rodger Young

[00:01:45] On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons

[00:01:55] Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell

[00:02:06] That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons

[00:02:15] Sleeps a man sleeps a man remembered well

[00:02:25] Sleeps a man Rodger Young

[00:02:35] Fought and died for the men he marched among

[00:02:44] In the everlasting glory of the infantry

[00:02:54] Lives the story of Private Rodger Young
