If you see my mum,
Tell her I love her
I should ne’er have left
But then duty called.

Its really cold out here
as death forever sings
In tune with bullet pings
And I can’t but ask myself
Will I see the morrow?

Tell her I return soonest,
But again I mightn’t
Yet should I meet my fate
I’ll be just one of many
Dying for an unknown cause.

Oh! Say me well
To all my loved ones,
Tell them not to weep
Should I arrive
Borne in a coffin
