Lyrics
(Spoken)
On
July
31st
1943
a
bloody
round
in
the
battle
for
The
Solomon
Islands
was
being
fought
in
the
tangled
Jungle
of
the
island
of
New
Georgia.
This
is
the
story
of
one
of
the
young
men
who
fought
And
died
there.
This
song
is
respectfully
dedicated
to
those
heroic
Infantrymen
who
like
Rodger
Young
have
sacrificed
Their
lives
that
their
nation
might
remain
forever
free.
(Sang)
Caught
in
ambush
lay
a
company
of
riflemen
Just
grenades
against
machine
guns
in
the
gloom
Caught
in
ambush
till
this
one
of
twenty
riflemen
Volunteered,
volunteered
to
meet
his
doom.
Volunteered,
Rodger
Young,
Fought
and
died
for
the
men
he
marched
among
In
the
everlasting
courage
of
the
infantry
Was
the
courage
of
Private
Rodger
Young.
On
the
island
of
New
Georgia
in
the
Solomons
Stands
a
simple
wooden
cross
alone
to
tell
That
beneath
the
silent
coral
of
the
Solomons
Sleeps
a
man,
sleeps
a
man
remembered
well.
Sleeps
a
man,
Rodger
Young,
Fought
and
died
for
the
men
he
marched
among
In
the
everlasting
glory
of
the
infantry
Lives
the
story
of
Private
Rodger
Young...
