===============================
Down at the drill hall the boys all wait to sign
Each one determined to join the Western line
They swear their allegiance to country and to King
Proud as the football songs they sing
A boy sees his hero, says, "Hey, that's Jimmy Speirs"
"He should be playing football, he's no need to be here"
But Jimmy smiles politely, "It's my duty, nothing more"
"Boys, we've a bigger goal to score"
Sing for the boys, sing for them all
All sent to fight till the last soldier falls
Sing for the boys row after row
Destined to lie where the red poppies grow
Boys land in Flanders, their journey's just begun
Jimmy swapped his football for a bayonet and a gun
Songs the crowds were singing still ringing in his ear
As he fought as a loyal Volunteer
When the army marches homeward singing songs along their way
Jimmy won't be with them; where he fell is where he'll stay
The Great War is over, it's no 90 minute game
Four years, three months and 13 days
Sing for the boys, sing for them all
All sent to fight till the last soldier falls
Sing for the boys, row after row
Destined to lie where the red poppies grow
Sing for the boys, sing for them all
All sent to fight till the last soldier falls
Sing for the boys row after row
Destined to lie where the red poppies grow
