This song is sung acapella. It is about a soldier who fights in both of the twentieth centuries great wars.
lyrics
An Army Man
He was a two world war man
He fought against the foe
A two world war man
An army man you know
He fought for King and Country
He fought for wife and kids
He was a two world war man
And this is what he did
Too young to be a soldier
But eager to join in
He got a taste of manhood
By being parted from his kin
And hope and love and comfort
Now seemed a distant land
But this would be his life it seemed
And it would make the man
He was a two world war man
He fought against the foe
A two world war man
An army man you know
He fought for King and Country
He fought for wife and kids
He was a two world war man
And this is what he did
Gone four years in the first one
Then had six years of the same
He never saw his kids grow
But his love grew everyday
He worked with men and horses
He boxed to bide his time
He was the classic Tommy
His comrades by his side
He was a two world war man
He fought against the foe
A two world war man
An army man you know
He fought for King and Country
He fought for wife and kids
He was a two world war man
And this is what he did
His medals now hang silent
The tell of one man’s life
They tell of fear and courage
And a patient loving wife
But he lies now in a slumber
he will not awake
He was a two world war man
An army man you know
