There's a happy time comingA
When the boys come homeB
There's a glorious day comingA
When the boys come homeB
We will end the dreadful storyC
Of this treason dark and goryC
In a sunburst of gloryC
When the boys come homeB
-
The day will seem brighterD
When the boys come homeB
For our hearts will be lighterD
When the boys come homeB
Wives and sweethearts will press themE
In their arms and caress themE
And pray God to bless themE
When the boys come homeB
-
The thinned ranks will be proudestF
When the boys come homeB
And their cheer will ring the loudestF
When the boys come homeB
The full ranks will be shatteredG
And the bright arms will be batteredG
And the battle standards tatteredG
When the boys come homeB
-
Their bayonets may be rustyC
When the boys come homeB
And their uniforms dustyC
When the boys come homeB
But all shall see the tracesH
Of battle's royal gracesI
In the brown and bearded facesH
When the boys come homeB
-
Our love shall go to meet themE
When the boys come homeB
To bless them and to greet themE
When the boys come homeB
And the fame of their endeavourD
Time and change shall not disseverD
From the nation's heart for everD
When the boys come homeB
