The Peat Bog Soldiers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Far and wide as the eye can wander Heath and bog are everywhere Not a bird sings out to cheer us Oaks are standing gaunt and bare [Chorus] We are the peat bog soldiers Marching with our spades to the moor [Verse 2] Up and down the guards are pacing No one, no one can get through Flight would mean a sure death facing Guns and barbed wire greet our view [Chorus] We are the peat bog soldiers Marching with our spades to the moor [Verse 3] But for us there is no complaining Winter will in time be past One day we shall rise rejoicing Homeland, dear, you're mine at last [Chorus] Then will the peat bog soldiers March no more with their spades to the moor
