<pre><font size='+2'>CHRISTMAS IN THE TRENCHES lyrics JOHN MCDERMOTT</font><br>Oh my name is Francis Tolliver, I come from Liverpool<br />
Two years ago the war was waiting for me after school<br />
From Belgium and to Flanders, Germany to here<br />
I fought for King and country I love dear.<br />
<br />
<br />
Twas Christmas in the trenches and the frost so bitter hung<br />
The frozen fields of France where still no Christmas songs were sung<br />
Our families back in England were toasting us that day<br />
There brave and glorious lads so far away.<br />
<br />
<br />
I was lying with my mess mates on the cold and rocky ground<br />
When across the lines of battle came a most peculiar sound<br />
Says I now listen up me boys, each soldier strained to hear<br />
As one young German voice sang out so clear.<br />
<br />
<br />
He`s singing bloody well you know, my partner says to me<br />
Soon one by one each German voice joined in in harmony<br />
The cannons rested silent and the gas cloud rolled no more<br />
As Christmas brought us respite from the war.<br />
<br />
<br />
As soon as they were finished and a reverent pause was spent<br />
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen struck up some lads from Kent<br />
The next thing sang was Stille Nach tis Silent Night says I<br />
And in two tongues one song filled up that sky<br />
<br />
<br />
There`s someone coming towards us now the front line sentry said<br />
All sights were fixed on one lone figure trudging from their side<br />
His truce flag like a Christmas Star shone on the plane so bright<br />
As he bravely trudged unarmed into the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then one by one on either side, walked in to No Mans Land<br />
With neither gun nor bayonet, we met there hand to hand<br />
We shared some secret brandy and we wished each other well<br />
And in a flare lit football game we gave them hell.<br />

We traded chocolates, cigarettes and photographs from home<br />

Oh my name is Francis Tolliver, I come from Liverpool
Two years ago the war was waiting for me after school
From Belgium and to Flanders, Germany to here
I fought for King and country I love dear.

Twas Christmas in the trenches and the frost so bitter hung
The frozen fields of France where still no Christmas songs were sung
Our families back in England were toasting us that day
There brave and glorious lads so far away.

I was lying with my mess mates on the cold and rocky ground
When across the lines of battle came a most peculiar sound
Says I now listen up me boys, each soldier strained to hear
As one young German voice sang out so clear.

He`s singing bloody well you know, my partner says to me
Soon one by one each German voice joined in in harmony
The cannons rested silent and the gas cloud rolled no more
As Christmas brought us respite from the war.

As soon as they were finished and a reverent pause was spent
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen struck up some lads from Kent
The next thing sang was Stille Nach tis Silent Night says I
And in two tongues one song filled up that sky

There`s someone coming towards us now the front line sentry said
All sights were fixed on one lone figure trudging from their side
His truce flag like a Christmas Star shone on the plane so bright
As he bravely trudged unarmed into the night.

Then one by one on either side, walked in to No Mans Land
With neither gun nor bayonet, we met there hand to hand
We shared some secret brandy and we wished each other well
And in a flare lit football game we gave them hell.
