Lyrics
When At Dawn The Whistle Blows
Out across the mud
Where dead men lay
There's a man who's just like me
With his thoughts of home
And peaceful days
There amongst his family
And I know he sweats
And shakes with fear
As upon his feet he sleeps
Then he boasts of nights
With girls and beer
While inside, his spirit weeps
In another place
Another time
We might be good friends, who knows
But I'll take his life
Or he'll take mine
When at dawn the whistle blows
