Take Your Overcoat, Let's Go Home - ww2 soldiers song
We are infantry, my brother
Summer is better than winter for us
We finished with the war,
yes, we finished with the war,
we finished the war
Take your overcoat,
let's go home
The war was flexing and mowing us
but now the war itself is over
A mother haven't seen her son for 4 years,
yes, a mother haven't seen her son for 4 years,
a mother haven't met her son for 4 years
Take your overcoat,
let's go home
Lost starlings came back
again, my friend, again,
to the ash and cinder of our streets
yes, lost starlings came back,
lost starlings came back at last
Take your overcoat,
let's go home
But you are sleeping with your eyes closed
under a plywood star
Rise, rise, my brother-soldier,
please, rise, my brother-soldier,
I beg you, rise, my brother-soldier
Take you overcoat,
let's go home
What will I say to your family?
How will I stand before your widow?
Should I swear by that day?
Maybe I should swear by that day?
Tell me, whether should I swear by that day?
Take your overcoat,
let's go home
We all are scampish children of the war
Either a general or a private
But there is a spring again,
yes. there is a spring again,
here is a spring again
Take your overcoat,
let's go home
