H Bobby T
Words by Neil Ecker, Music by Jon Hansen
You’re name was pulled and you did your part
Dress blue and white a black silk scarf
The war’s been ragin since ‘41
You’ve ranks a cook no use for a gun
H Bobby T
It had to be you fight on the sea
One so young it didn’t have to be
H Bobby T
The y ship you off to the war after boot
When under attack you help the others shoot
Salino Bay is the name of this place
The Axis powers you will face
The news came from the war department
Explosion in the ammo compartment
The Times announced poor Bobby’s demise
Those who knew him just sit and cry
H Bobby T
It had to be you fight on the sea
Death in the fall of ‘43
H Bobby T
From the farm age 19
Never come back to that scene
Buried at sea it’s not to safe
Wrapped in stripes to your grave
It didn’t have to be
Death in the fall of ‘43
Why did it have to be?
