Barry Sadler - The Soldier Has Come Home lyrics

Lay the green sod on me Carve my name in stone Lay the green sod on me The soldier has come home Don't mourn for me, my darling Don't cry when I am gone Don't mourn for me, my darling The soldier will come home My friends have gone before me And layed their tired bodies down My friends have gone before me To prepare the resting ground Let me go to sleep now To march and fight no more Let me go to sleep now I'm tired, my body's sore So lay the green sod on me Put the wreath upon my stone Lay the green sod on me The soldier has come home (the soldier has come home)
