david moore - in memoriam lyrics

so you were david’s father
and he was your only son
and the new_cut peats are rotting
and the work is left undone
because of an old man weeping
just an old man in pain
for david, his son david
that will not come again

oh, the letters he wrote you
and i can see them still
not a word of the fighting
but just the sheep on the hill
and how you should get the crops in
ere the year got stormier
and the bosches have got his body
and i was his officer

you were only david’s father
but i had fifty sons
when we went up that evening
under the arch of the guns
and we came back at twilight
— o god! i heard them call
to me for help and pity
that could not help at all
oh, never will i forget you
my men that trusted me
more my sons than your fathers’
for they could only see
the little helpless babies
and the young men in their pride
they could not see you dying
and hold you while you died

happy and young and gallant
they saw their first born go
but not the strong limbs broken
and the beautiful men brought low
the piteous writhing bodies
they screamed, “don’t leave me sir,”
for they were only fathers
but i was your officer

- david moore
