Only A Hero - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
ONLY A HERO. By John Hayes. 
See the moon, how dim it shines, silently and grave, O'er a tombstone in a graveyard where a soldier lays; It was while in battle a bullet pierced his heart. While fighting for his country like a hero did depart. 
Chorus. Only a hero in slumber does sleep. No friends to remember, no mother to weep; He has gone with his comrades-far. far away, So don't pass the grave where a hero does lay. 
The birds at sunrise flock around, a song they sweetly sin?, Their echoes fill the land with joy and make the woodlands ring; Not a flower or a rosebud upon his grave does bloom. In sorrow deep there's none to weep but the birds and the pale moon.- Chorus.
