Fight Again Tomorrow

The battle was raging
And the cannons were blazing
The smoke bitter as the cud
The horses were groaning
Young men were moaning
As they drowned in the blood red mud

With bellies ripped open
No words were spoken
As they pulled off our brothers boots
And as their flag was raised
We watched – war dazed
As our foe made their salutes

So I’ll fight to the death
I’ll fight ‘til I’m done
I’ll fight with a heart full of sorrow
I’ll stand my ground
‘Til the last man’s down
And I will fight again tomorrow
(I will fight again tomorrow)

So maybe we’ll stand
As we follow command
Or maybe we’ll just stay and die
Scavenger birds
Will hear our last words
Or maybe on a pyre we’ll lie

So I’ll fight to the death
I’ll fight ‘til I’m done
I’ll fight with a heart full of sorrow
I’ll stand my ground
‘Til the last man’s down
And I will fight again tomorrow
(I will fight again tomorrow)

Then like a baying hound
The retreat sounds
And we scatter like hard buck shot
And as we turn to run
I think of my son
Lying somewhere in a field to rot

So I’ll fight to the death
I’ll fight ‘til I’m done
I’ll fight with a heart full of sorrow
I’ll stand my ground
‘Til the last man is down
And I will fight again tomorrow
(I will fight again tomorrow)

Middle
My love sits at home
Weeping all alone
Reading letters by the fire
‘spite the screams of hell
I say, “all is well.”
But we both know that I’m a liar

So I’ll fight to the death
I’ll fight ‘til I’m done
I’ll fight with a heart full of sorrow
I’ll stand my ground
‘Til the last man is down
And I will fight again tomorrow
(I will fight again tomorrow)

So I’ll fight to the death
I’ll fight ‘til I’m done
I’ll fight with a heart full of sorrow
I’ll stand my ground
‘Til the last man is down
And I will fight again tomorrow
I will fight again
I will fight again
I will fight again tomorrow.
