THE BALLAD OF BULL
Sometimes war is killing
Sometimes, it's saving lives
It's the judgement of fate
it's nothing that man can dictate
Corporal Leslie Allen carried
Them from Tambu
Saved his brothers in arms
Where no would follow through
There and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away
Sometimes war is killing
Sometimes, it's saving lives
From Australia's shore
Bull Allen went to war
Sometimes war is saving
Sometimes it's taken lives
Thanks to one single man
A dozen more survives
There and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away
Some men return from a war in a bag
And yet the world knows the story
Almost return unwilling to grant a life and humble at heart
No
There and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
12 men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away
