Sappers Lullaby – Fred Smith
[Verse 1]
C G G D C G D
Up past from the Role 2, and down past the gate, out to the flight line
C G G D C D G
We stood in the sun, slouch hat and gun as two caskets passed us by
C G G D C G D
We followed the Padre, onto the Herc. And out into the pale summer sky
C G G D C D G
We walked back to Poppy's, and went back to work, with the Dust still in our eyes
[Chorus]
C G G D C G D
So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby
C G G D
You give it your all, Knowing if you should fall
C D G
That all good things must die
[Verse 2]
C G G D C G D
These young engineers, whose job is to clear the roads that we may pass
C G G D C D G
Always out front, and when they bear the brunt, man it happens fast
C G G D C G D
Sapper D Smith had a wife and a son, the apple of his eye
C G G D C D G
Snowy Moreland was just 21, way to young to die
[Chorus]
C G G D C G D
So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby
C G G D
You give it your all, Knowing if you should fall
C D G
That all good things must die
[Verse 3]
C G G D C G D
So go call your mother, call your old man, on the welfare line
C G G D C D G
Tell em you love em, while you still can, cause all good things must die
[Chorus]
C G G D C G D
So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby
C G G D
You give it your all, Knowing if you should fall
C D G
That all good things must die
