Lyrics
John Hill lies in Bayeux
As I lie in bed
One hundred years silent
One hundred years dead
His blood was not my blood
But for me it shed
John Hill died in Bayeux
And I live now instead
Well, Mary Jane trembled
As she opened the door
The telegram fluttered
And fell to the floor
Upstairs baby doll lay
Asleep in her bed
But in the cold mud of Flanders
Her father was lying dead
John Hill lies in Bayeux
As I rise from sleep
His dreams are now my dreams
To live and to keep
And when my day darkens
Before the sunset
I'll sing from the hilltops
Never, never, never forget
