Poor Soldier

All out in the snow they are tonight
Far away from kid and home
God help the ones who fight for the right
And them who are done gone on

Poor soldier
Hungry and cold
Poor soldier
Hungry and cold

It's well I recollect when he bid me farewell
He went with head held high
Away to fight for the stars and stripes
Perhaps away to die

Poor soldier
Hungry and cold
Poor soldier
Hungry and cold

I know not where he is tonight
God alone only knows
Keep him safe and sound from all harm
Protect from all foes

Poor soldier
Hungry and cold
Poor soldier
Hungry and cold
