The marching band came down along
Main Street.
The soldier blues fell in behind.
I looked across and there
I saw Billy waiting to join the line
and with her head upon his shoulder
his young and lovely fiancée
and from where I stood
I saw she was crying
and through her tears
I heard her say
Billy don't be a hero
don't be a fool with your life
Billy don't be a hero

make me your wife and
And as Billy started to go, she said,

keep your pretty head low, Billy.

Don't be a hero.
D
Come back to me.
OK, the soldier balloons
were trapped on the hillside.
The battle raging all around.
The sergeant says,
we've got to hang on, boys.
We've got to hold this piece of land.
OK, right.
I need a volunteer
to ride out
and get some extra men. Billy.
Oh, Billy's head was up in a moment.
Forgetting all the ways.
Billy, don't be a hero.
Don't be a Billy, don't be a hero.
Come back and make me your wife.
And as Billy started to go, she said,

Well I heard his fiancée got a letter
saying how Billy died that day.
Well the letter said

and she should be proud he died
that way.
Well I heard she threw

the letter away.
