It was a war bond That payed the doctor When he was born it wasn't easy He had a fever And he was dying His dad was fighting across the sea He was almost to sweet Canada's Border When he ran into a man who was high On Gun powder and a federal order That says you've got to fight and die He answered I'm a runnin' From the people who are gunnin' down The people who are running for life I just wanted to be free To be all that I was promised By the fathers of our fathers long before. Now it's gettin' kind of queasy And I'm feelin' kind of seasick I think that it's time for me to go. He was almost to sweet Canada's Border He was almost to sweet Canada's Border When he ran into a man who was high On Gun powder and a federal order That says you've got to fight and die When the man said surrender He kept right on a'goin' He could see his brother Jesus by his side And they knew he was'nt fakin' When the bullet started quakin' Through the body of a peacemaker who tried And he died for his country and he was not mistaken Takin' his body back home He would'nt go into the far eastern jungle Takin' his body back home He just wanted to be free To be all that he was promised By the fathers of our fathers long before. And he died for his country and he was not mistaken Takin' his body back home He was almost to sweet Canada's Border He was almost to sweet Canada's Border He was almost to sweet Canada's Border He was almost to sweet Canada's Border
