Soldier’s Gun Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll be leaving in the morning
In a cool morning breeze
Young man, the battlefield is calling
Fight for freedom, fight for peace
They say I gotta do my duty
Men of glory join in pride
Gotta say goodbye to you, my love
You never said big boys don't cry
[Chorus]
No, there ain't no sun on a soldier's gun
You can bet all your money
I'd say a million to one
No, there ain't no hope as the sergeant blows
We'll be marching forever for the country we love
[Verse 2]
Save your tears for our reunion
Save your tears til I'm back home
Keep my letters real close to your heart
Remember you're the only one
There's a train in the morning
Leaving everything behind
Yeah, there's a ghost train in the morning
Keep my memory inside
I'll be leaving in the morning
In a cool morning breeze
Young man, the battlefield is calling
Fight for freedom, fight for peace
They say I gotta do my duty
Men of glory join in pride
Gotta say goodbye to you, my love
You never said big boys don't cry
[Chorus]
No, there ain't no sun on a soldier's gun
You can bet all your money
I'd say a million to one
No, there ain't no hope as the sergeant blows
We'll be marching forever for the country we love
[Verse 2]
Save your tears for our reunion
Save your tears til I'm back home
Keep my letters real close to your heart
Remember you're the only one
There's a train in the morning
Leaving everything behind
Yeah, there's a ghost train in the morning
Keep my memory inside
[Chorus]
No, there ain't no sun on a soldier's gun
You can bet all your money
I'd say a million to one
No, there ain't no hope as the sergeant blows
We'll be marching forever for the country we love
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I'll be leaving in the morning
Keep my memory inside
Will you do it?
Ooh
[Chorus]
No, there ain't no sun on a soldier's gun
You can bet all your money
I'd say a million to one
No, there ain't no hope as the sergeant blows
We'll be marching forever for the country we love
[Outro]
No, there ain't no sun on a soldier's gun
You can bet all your money
I'd say a million to one
No, there ain't no hope as the sergeant blows
We'll be marching on forever
No, there ain't no sun on a soldier's gun
You can bet all your money
I'd say a million to one
No, there ain't no hope as the sergeant blows
We'll be marching forever for the country we love
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I'll be leaving in the morning
Keep my memory inside
Will you do it?
Ooh
[Chorus]
No, there ain't no sun on a soldier's gun
You can bet all your money
I'd say a million to one
No, there ain't no hope as the sergeant blows
We'll be marching forever for the country we love
[Outro]
No, there ain't no sun on a soldier's gun
You can bet all your money
I'd say a million to one
No, there ain't no hope as the sergeant blows
We'll be marching on forever
