The Ballad of Robbie Jones

There was Robbie Jones

He used to walk so tall

You know he'd hurt no one at all

Chased the girls around the world

Danced them round the dance halls

We'd have a drink and then he'd sink

Into nostalgic talk

We carried him home in the fallen snow

When he was too drunk to walk

Then came the day

We were sent away

We got our papers

Posted trough the door

And sent off to war

Dear old Tom

He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar

He'd tell you all the stories

Of his travels near and far

Signed up one day to learn a trade

But that dream didn't go far

He'd be fighting Argentinians

With his gun not his guitar

He used to walk so tall

You know he'd hurt no one at all

Chased the girls around the world

Danced them round the dance halls

We'd have a drink and then he'd sink

Into nostalgic talk

We carried him home in the fallen snow

When he was too drunk to walkThen came the day

We were sent away

We got our papers

Posted trough the door

And sent off to warDear old Tom

He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar

He'd tell you all the stories

Of his travels near and far

Signed up one day to learn a trade

But that dream didn't go far

He'd be fighting Argentinians

With his gun not his guitar
