Verse 1
soldier with a gun
They had so much fun, oh boy
And then he left his sandbox for
another toy called a girl
Well, but now they got him back playing
C
Am
C
In sandbox days when he was sick
of playing with his soldier man
He'd knock him down and to the ground
And then cover him plump with sand
And now he's waitin' for the day
When he can see his lady love
The world, it knocks him to the ground
And six feet of sand cover
G
C
him up
Peaceful days are now at hand,
and everyone is feeling grand
Except the girl who's in her room,
Am
C
except the boy who's in his tomb of sand
She looked into her drawer and found something
he gave her when he said goodbye
She looked at it and tears came from her eyes
G
C
as she hailed his toy soldier boy
She read the letter telling her of
bayonets and all their fears
She read the letter,
G
C
telling her how the bomb blast hurt his ears.
His babies watched in wonderment as
Am
C
his young wife drowned in tears.

His babies stood with bayonets and bomb blasts heard bearing.
