Lyrics Avenues of Honour - John Edmond

No worries old soldier
You will never be forgotten for the sacrifice you made
There are avenues of trees planted to the memory
Of you and your comrades
And if any of the trees stop a- growing
And if one goes missing in the line
No worries old soldier, we're gonna plant another
In the everlasting sands of time

There are avenues of honor
In those old Australian towns
And the trees are growing on those avenues of honor
Take the time and stroll on down
Say a thanksgiving prayer and perhaps lay a Poppy
At the foot of an old Oak tree
Always remember, each tree is for a soldier
Who died for the likes of you and me

No worries old soldier
You will never be forgotten
Though you died on foreign shores
In the theatre of strife
You laid down your life
In the last of the Gentleman's Wars
And though there are no avenues of honor
'neath the wide African sky
Your former enemy will tend ya grave
'cause the rivers of respect cannot run dry

There are avenues of honor
In those old Australian towns
And the trees are growing on those avenues of honor
Take the time and stroll on down
Say a thanksgiving prayer and perhaps lay a Poppy
At the foot of an old Oak tree
Always remember, each tree is for a soldier
Who died for the likes of you and me

There are avenues of honor
In those old Australian towns
And the trees are growing on those avenues of honor
Take the time and stroll on down
Say a thanksgiving prayer and perhaps lay a Poppy
At the foot of an old Oak tree
Always remember, each tree is for a soldier
Who died for the likes of you and me
Who died for the likes of you and me
Who died for the likes of you and me
