Jimmy Dean - Oklahoma Bill Lyrics

Align:    
  • The General just gave me a medal oh I'm a sight for mom to see
  • But when the news gets round that I ain't got ole Bill
  • Some kids gonna think a whole lot less of me
  • You see she gave me that puppy and said he'd protect me through the night
  • And if I got hurt he'd go for help or he'd back me up in a fight
  • He growed all the while I was trainin' forget him I never will
  • Cause you'd never see me with right at my heels was Oklahoma Bill
  • We hit a long ridge one sunup and it seemed like death held all the cards
  • Cause we payed and payed with lives of men for every hard fought yard
  • When finally we drove up to the top there wasn't nothin' but death behind
  • And as we all dug in we all thanked God though we numbered only nine
  • And as the snipers switched their guns as darkness closed that hill
  • My soul companion in the night was Oklahoma Bill
  • There's no glory in a battle once you've seen its awful cost
  • But there's glory in the knowledge that your flag is never lost
  • And yet in the stillness of the nightime and all alone you hold a post
  • You start cryin' like a baby sittin' there with all the ghosts
  • You feel your buddies are pattin' your back though their guns're silent and still
  • It's only a dog tryin' to love you my Oklahoma Bill
  • I gave my note to the Colonel and I bound a shattered leg
  • And I said Bill we're sure in trouble he never whimpered or begged
  • I could tell he hated to leave me I was the only God he ever knew
  • But quick as a flash he took of through the night like a fightin' marine would do
  • I kept firin' till help finally came it was him though that saved that hill
  • A dyin' dog had got through the lines my Oklahoma Bill
  • That little ol' kid will always wonder what happened to her dog
  • But she'll find out on Judgement Day when she sees the big Skipper's log
  • We'll all walk in and bugles'll blow and we'll stand our last revue
  • And men who've died for men on earth will get their heavenly dues
  • And if all brave hearts are there that day I'll get my greatest thrill
  • When I hang this medal around the neck of Oklahoma Bill
