Peat Bog Soldiers

[Verse 1] Far and wide as the eye can wander Heath and moor are everywhere Not a bird sings out to greet us Trees are standing gaunt and bare [Chorus] We are the peat bog soldiers Marching with our spades to the moor [Verse 2] Up and down the guards are pacing No one, no one can get through Flight would mean a sure death facing Guns and barbed wire block our view [Chorus] We are the peat bog soldiers Marching with our spades to the moor [Verse 3] But for us there is no complaining Winter will in time be past Then once more we will stand rejoicing Homeland dear you're mine at last [Chorus] No more the peat bog soldiers Will march with our spades to the moor [Verse 4] Far and wide as the eye can wander Heath and moor are everywhere Not a bird sings out to greet us Trees are standing gaunt and bare [Chorus] We are the peat bog soldiers Marching with our spades to the moor
