歌曲歌詞
Back to the rear of battle
A digger boy was gay
Thoughts of home across the sea
Filled his heart today
No thought of danger lingered
In the soldier's head
As loudly did he sing of love of love and roses red
I have a childhood sweetheart
Who waits so patiently
A rose of red is in her hair
To show her love for me
We'll build a home together
When I return from war
With roses red a homely site growin' round the door
The soldier boy kept singing
His heart was warm today
When from the trees a vicious crack and
Death was on it's way
The happy boy stopped singing
And nothing we could do
The air was cold he lay so still
The sniper's aim was true
We picked him up so gently
And this is what was seen
A rose of red from a sniper's shot
Across his shirt of green
The bullet travelled onward
Deadly in it's flight
A girl so sad her love has gone
A rose had died tonight
