The Rubettes - Goodbye Dolly Grey lyrics

In the 1914-18 war We were never sure What we were fighting for But we had our orders For god and the king in the 1914-18 The cannons crashed The soldiers fell It was just like we'd Been sent down to hell And all was red Where once was green in the 1914-18 So goodbye Dolly Gray I'll see you another day I go to war because I'm told That war's the only way Auf wiedersehen ich liebe dich We'll stand and we will fight And all god's children went to war Convinced that they were right And in the trench I saw the foe And he looked just like my brother Joe He was waving something in his hand I thought it was a trick So I send him to the promised land And the photograph fell from his hand Of his wife and kids from his German land Oh didn't I feel sick So goodbye Dolly Gray I'll see you another day I'm off to fight the foe All dressed in glorious array If only Tom and Fritz Had known about the blitz They'd have told them where To stuff their war And be alive today So goodbye Dolly Gray I'll see you another day I go to war because I'm told That war's the only way Auf wiedersehen ich liebe dich We'll stand and we will fight And all god's children went to war Convinced that they were right So goodbye Dolly Gray I'll see you another day I go to war because I'm told The war's the only way Auf wiedersehen ich liebe dich We'll stand and we will fight And all god's children went to war Convinced that they were right So goodbye Dolly Gray...
