I said "That was a shell or a bomb" She said, "I'm scared", I said, "Me too" Well, all night long that noise kept on And the sound would chill you right to the bone The bullets and the bombs and the motor shells Shook our bed every time one fell and it never let up It was gonna get worse before it got any better Well when the sun came up the noise died down We got a few minutes sleep and we were sleepin' sound Then a soldier knocked on our door and said "Last night we brought in seven dead and fourteen wounded" And would we come down to the base hospital And see the boys, yeah So we went to the hospital ward by day And every night we were singin' away Then the shells and the bombs 'til dawn again And the helicopters brought in a wounded man Night after night, day after day, comin' and a goin' So we sadly sang for them our last song And reluctantly we said so long We did our best to let them know that we cared For every last one of them it's over there Whether we belonged over there or not Somebody over here loves them and needs them Well, now that's about all there is to tell About that little trip into livin' hell And if I ever go back over there anymore Hope there's none of our boys there for me to sing for I hope that war's over with and they all come back home To stay in peace Album Lyrics: Other Songs - Johnny Cash Johnny Cash "Other Songs - Johnny Cash" 1. 25 Minutes To Go 2.
