Gentle Willie
Willie was a sailor
He sailed on the sea
And Willie said a sailor's life
Is the life for me
But they sent him into battle
For to lay down his life
And Willie said a sailor's life is not for me
So Willie joined the air force
He learnt how to fly
And Willie said how happy
He was flying in the sky
But they sent him into battle
For to lay down his life
And Willie said the air force is no life for me
Now Willie got to thinking
People were plotting for his life
So he bought himself a watchtower
And locked himself inside
But the tower looked o'er a battlefield
Where men laid down their lives
And Willie had to laugh but then he cried
Gentil Willie
Willie era um marinheiro
Navegava pelo mar
E Willie dizia que a vida de marinheiro
Era a vida pra mim
Mas mandaram ele pra batalha
Pra entregar sua vida
E Willie disse que a vida de marinheiro não era pra mim
Então Willie entrou pra força aérea
Aprendeu a voar
E Willie dizia o quanto estava feliz
Voando lá no céu
Mas mandaram ele pra batalha
Pra entregar sua vida
E Willie disse que a força aérea não era vida pra mim
Agora Willie começou a pensar
Que o povo tramava contra sua vida
Então ele comprou uma torre de vigia
E se trancou lá dentro
Mas a torre olhava pra um campo de batalha
Onde homens entregavam suas vidas
E Willie teve que rir, mas depois ele chorou
