Such a shame

A boy as young as he went to fight a war

So proud of his country and uniform

Just seventeen on that ANZAC Cove shore

Such a shame

There was no return to home and family

His Mum and Dad would ne'er again find peace

Now no chance to be the man he could have been

Such a shame

For he never did work in the bush on those big sheep runs

He'd said I'll be shearing soon when our job over here is done

I'll be holding a pair of shears not this loaded gun

Such a shame

He never met the lady of his life

Gave to her his hand as his mother softly cried

He didn't dance that first waltz as man and wife

Such a shame

That he never held his baby in his arms

Felt the joy and love from within a father's heart

He didn't see those first steps out in the yard

Such a shame

He never marched with his mates on that April day

Stood at dawn and heard that sad bugle play

Had a beer and a yarn and passed the time away

Such a shame

For he never got to grow old gracefully

Spend Christmas with his growing family

Live a life full of love and peace

No his body lies there so far across the sea

And that's such a shame

Such a shame
