Remedy - Fightin' Sons lyrics

(Rose Tattoo) Well, I was just a young man when they took me across the sea Dressed me up in jungle green just to fight for democracy I was just an Aussie boy in the jungle for the war From all around the world we came not really knowing more And you're a long way from home Oh yes a long way from home When you're all alone War's got a way of making strangers into friends I met three sons of the south and they became closer than kin Thank god the orders came to bring the war to an end With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to my best friends Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me We was fightin' for democracy Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me Us good old boys just got to be free, yeah Now I know I'll probably never see those sons of the south again To this Australian boy they'll always be closer than kin And so I raise my gla** to you, Bobby Bear and Bill And though we're worlds apart, I'm thinking of you still And men will be men wherever they may be Deep in my heart you're the only friends of me Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me They were fightin' sons of the confederacy Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me Us good old boys just got a right to be free Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me Us good old boys just gotta be free We gotta be free, just gotta be free
