Sappers Lullaby – Fred Smith

[Verse 1]

C G G D C G D

Up from the Role 2, and down past the gate, out to the flight line

C G G D C D G

We stood in the sun, slouch hat and gun as two caskets passed us by

C G G D C G D

We followed the Padre, onto the Herc. And out into the pale summer sky

C G G D C D G

We walked back to Poppy's, and went back to work, with the Dust still in our eyes

[Chorus]

C G G D C G D

So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby

C G G D

You give it your all, knowing if you should fall

C D G

That all good things must die

[Verse 2]

C G G D C G D

These young engineers, whose job is to clear the roads that we may pass

C G G D C D G

Always out front, and when they bear the brunt, man it happens fast

C G G D C G D

Sapper D Smith had a wife and a son, the apple of his eye

C G G D C D G

Snowy Moreland was just 21, way to young to die

[Chorus]

C G G D C G D

So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby

C G G D

You give it your all, knowing if you should fall

C D G

That all good things must die

[Verse 3]

C G G D C G D

So go call your mother, call your old man, on the welfare line

C G G D C D G

Tell em you love em, while you still can, cause all good things must die

[Chorus]

C G G D C G D

So soldiers, sing me, a sapper's lullaby

C G G D

You give it your all, knowing if you should fall

That all good things must die
