Too Young

Please Sir, don't make me do this He's my mate, he's only young Sir He broke the rules lad And sentence is passed Now come on soldier Move along there But, me legs won't move Sir I'm shaking, look What are you soldier Man or mouse? I'm neither man nor mouse Sir I am just a boy, a boy Just like my brother Sir Then aim true lad And spare him pain Soldier, cock that rifle Or you'll find yourself Against that wall But, but Sir I can’t see I'm blinded Sir Enough now soldier Pull that trigger And that my boy IS AN ORDER! CRACK! I am sorry, so sorry mate! Was the last cry he uttered As he fell by the hand, Of his own gun Never to be a man
