We are  the peat bog soldiers,         marching with our spades   to the   moor.
Last chorus: No more the peat bog soldiers will march with our spades to the moor. [Lyrics] Far and wide as the eye can wander, heath and bog are everywhere. Not a bird sings out to cheer us; oaks are standing gaunt and bare. Up and down the guards are marching, no one, no one can get through. Flight would mean a sure death facing, guns and barbed wire block our view. But for us there is no complaining, winter will in time be past. One day we shall rise rejoicing: homeland, dear, you're mine at last. ************************************ | a Arpeggio (harp-like: pick all strings upward in fast sequence) | p Pull-off | \ Slide down ************************************
