THIS IS A STORY ABOUT BILLY AND SUE<br />

THEY WERE AS IN LOVE AS WERE ANY TWO<br />

AND YET BILLY HAD TO DIE <br />

AND WHEN YOU HEAR THE REASON WHY<br />

YOU'LL HANG YOUR HEAD AND CRY<br />

<br />

BILLY AND SUE MET THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL<br />

AND EVER SINCED LIVED BY THE GOLDEN RULE <br />

BEACAUSE THEY'LL DO UNTO OTHERS <br />

WHAT YOU WOULD'NT WANT DONE TO YOU <br />

YOU'D HAVE TO BE A FOOL<br />

<br />

THIS MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF LOVE AND TRUST<br />

THEY WOULD TRAVEL THE ROAD<br />

TO MARRIAGE OR BUST<br />

AND WHEN BILLY WAS OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE A WIFE<br />

HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY<br />

AND HIS WAY OF LIFE<br />

<br />

SUES LETTERS CAME EVERY DAY <br />

STRENGHTENED HIS CAUSE THEY SHOWED HIM THE WAY<br />

TO FIGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY AND THE GIRL HE LOVED<br />

THATS A SOILDERS ONLY PAY<br />

<br />

BUT THEN BILLY HEARD NO MORE FROM SUE <br />

HE WAS WORRIED SICK BUT WHAT COULD HE DO<br />

THE BULLETS WERE SCREAMING AS HE HUGGED THE GROUND<br />

AND BACK HOME SUE WAS RUNNIN ROUND<br />

<br />

BILLY WAS GETTIN LESS AND LESS STRONG<br />

HIS HOPE HIS FATE WAS ALMOST GONE<br />

AND THEN LIKE A MIRACLE THE LETTER APPEARED<br />

BILLY TORE THE LETTER OPEN AND HE READ DEAR JOHN<br />

<br />

A LOOK CAME OVER BILLY THAT WOULD SCARE A GHOST<br />

FAMILIAR LOOK SEEN ON SOLDIERS COAST TO COAST<br />

AND EVEN THOUGH THE AIR WAS FILLED WITH LEAD <br />

BILLY JUMPED UP THEY SHOT HIM DEAD<br />

<br />

BILLY WAS BURIED IN A FAR AWAY GRAVE<br />

IT READ FOR HIS COUNTRY HIS LIFE HE GAVE<br />

BUT THAT EPITAPH WAS ONLY A PART<br />

HE DIDNT DIE FROM A BULLET BUT HE DIED FROM A BROKEN HEART
