When At Dawn The Wistle Blows

Lyrics

When At Dawn The Whistle Blows Out across the mud Where dead men lay There's a man who's just like me With his thoughts of home And peaceful days There amongst his family And I know he sweats And shakes with fear As upon his feet he sleeps Then he boasts of nights With girls and beer While inside, his spirit weeps In another place Another time We might be good friends, who knows But I'll take his life Or he'll take mine When at dawn the whistle blows
