Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone   When they come I will stand my ground Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid   Thoughts of home take away my fear Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears   Once a year say a prayer for me Close your eyes and remember me   Never more shall I see the sun For I fell to a Germans gun   Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Lay me down in the cold cold ground Where before many more have gone Where before many more have gone
