Lyrics In Memoriam - The Central Band of The Royal British Legion feat. Danny Dyer
So
you
were
David's
father,
And
he
was
your
only
son,
And
the
new-cut
peats
are
rotting
And
the
work
is
left
undone,
Because
of
an
old
man
weeping,
Just
an
old
man
in
pain,
For
David,
his
son
David,
That
will
not
come
again.
Oh,
the
letters
he
wrote
you,
And
I
can
see
them
still,
Not
a
word
of
the
fighting
But
just
the
sheep
on
the
hill
And
how
he
should
get
the
crops
in
Ere
the
year
got
stormier,
And
the
Bosches
have
got
his
body,
And
I
was
his
officer.
Your
were
only
David's
father,
But
I
had
fifty
sons
When
we
went
up
in
the
evening
Under
the
arch
of
the
guns,
And
we
came
back
at
twilight—
O
God!
I
heard
them
call
To
me
for
help
and
pity
That
could
not
help
at
all.
Oh,
never
will
I
forget
you,
My
men
that
trusted
me,
More
my
sons
than
your
fathers',
For
they
could
only
see
The
little
helpless
babies
And
the
young
men
in
their
pride.
They
could
not
see
you
dying,
And
hold
you
while
you
died.
Happy
and
young
and
gallant,
They
saw
their
first-born
go,
But
not
the
strong
limbs
broken
And
the
beautiful
men
brought
low,
The
piteous
writhing
bodies,
The
screamed,
"Don't
leave
me,
Sir,"
For
they
were
only
your
fathers
And
I
was
your
officer.
