lyrics

On a cold and lonely night,
Men lined up prepared to fight,
Each alone, heads filled with thoughts of home

It was July 1916, no bloodier time had there been seen,
and in the mud and mire, so many lay there cold

And they drift away, they drift away......................
And the price was paid

And they drift away, they drift away.......................
And the price was paid
