The marching band came down along main street,
The soldier blues fell in behind.
I looked across and there I saw Billy,
Waiting to go and join the line,

And with her head upon his shoulder
his young and lovely fiancée.
From where I stood I saw she was crying,
And through her tears I heard her say :

Billy, don’t be a hero, don’t be a fool with your life
Billy, don’t be a hero, come back and make me your wife
And as Billy started to go, she said, keep your pretty head low,
Billy, don’t be hero, come back to me !

The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside,
The battle raging all around,
The sergeant cried, “We’ve got to hang on boys!
We’ve got to hold this piece of ground !

I need a volunteer to ride up,
And bring us back some extra men.”
And Billy’s hand was up in a moment,
Forgetting all the words she said

She said :
Billy, don’t be a hero, don’t be a fool with your life !
Billy, don’t be a hero, come back and make me your wife !
And as Billy started to go, she said, keep your pretty head low,
Billy, don’t be hero, come back to me!

I heard his fiancée got a letter that told how Billy died that day.
The letter said that he was a hero, she should be proud he died that way.
I heard she threw the letter away.


She said :
Billy, don’t be a hero, don’t be a fool with your life
Billy, don’t be a hero, come back and make me your wife
And as Billy started to go, she said, keep your pretty head low,
Billy, don’t be hero, come back to me!

I heard his fiancée got a letter that told how Billy died that day.
The letter said that he was a hero, she should be proud he died that way.
I heard she threw the letter away.
