lirik lagu tom russell – veteran’s day
i used to hang out down at the local vfw hall
lord, i was staring at a photograph up on the wall
of all the boys in the neighbourhood who died back in world war two
and the hand lettered sign said, ‘remember our jimmy mcgrew’
well, jimmy went away back in 1965
there’s a lot of men here think that jimmy mcgrew’s still alive
they carved his name on a stone down in washington, dc
but his brother says, “that stone don’t mean a d-mn thing to me”
it’s veteran’s day and the skies are grey
leave your uniforms home, boys, there ain’t gonna be a parade
but we’ll fill up a gl-ss for the ones that didn’t make it through, yeah
hey, leave a light in the window tonight for jimmy mcgrew
there’s a hot rain falling on the back streets of saigon
and there’s a white man running down the alley with his mama-san
but lord, his eyes are cloudy and his arms are black and blue
and he’s a-hanging by a thread and he looks like our jimmy mcgrew
it’s veteran’s day and the skies are grey
leave your uniforms home, boys, there ain’t gonna be a parade
but we’ll fill up a gl-ss for the ones that didn’t make it through, yeah
hey, leave a light in the window tonight for jimmy mcgrew
yeah, leave a light in the window tonight for jimmy mcgrew
