Peat Bog Soldiers lyrics

Far and wide as the eye can wander
Heath and bog are everywhere
Not a bird sings out to cheer us
Oaks are standing, gaunt and bareChorus

We are the peatbog soldiers
We`re marching with our spades
To the bog

Up and down the guards are pacing
No one, no one can go through
Flight would mean a sure death facing
Guns and barbed wire greet our view

But for us there is no complaining
Winter will in time be past
One day we shall cry rejoicing
`Homeland dear, you`re mine at last!`Final Chorus

Then will the peatbog soldiers
March no more with spades
To the bog
