00:00:08,570 --> 00:00:06,410
the Digger

2
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:08,580
there was an Aussie Digger in the

3
00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:11,280
trenches in the war landed in the night

4
00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:14,040
on a barbed wire foreign Shore running

5
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:16,680
jumping digging are the reasons were

6
00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:17,760
unsure

7
00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:20,520
left at home a family young wife and

8
00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:23,039
infant son I'll be home by Christmas

9
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:25,619
when all the war is done don't fret for

10
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:28,800
me darling I should have a bit of fun

11
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:31,740
Starry Eyes of glossy now thinking of

12
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,320
his wife this isn't hunting rabbits this

13
00:00:40,729 --> 00:00:36,719
is fighting for your life forget about

14
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:40,739
Christmas the world's in too much strife

15
00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:44,399
the bombs are like thunder but dirt is

16
00:00:48,529 --> 00:00:45,300
the rain

17
00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:48,539
the sound Echoes numbly deep inside my

18
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:49,500
brain

19
00:00:54,049 --> 00:00:51,960
I didn't know I never had a measurement

20
00:00:56,930 --> 00:00:54,059
of pain

21
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:56,940
the diggers boots are still unpolished

22
00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,000
in the mud he only felt the bang as a

23
00:01:06,109 --> 00:01:02,879
dying little thud the Digger's heart has

24
00:01:08,510 --> 00:01:06,119
stopped he has given us his blood

25
00:01:11,270 --> 00:01:08,520
now that was long gone there's another

26
00:01:13,370 --> 00:01:11,280
one to try another one to teach the Sun

27
00:01:16,190 --> 00:01:13,380
how to learn to die

28
00:01:18,289 --> 00:01:16,200
and the only sound left is a muffled

29
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:18,299
mother's cry

30
00:01:21,950 --> 00:01:20,400
there was an Aussie Digger in the

31
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:21,960
trenches in the war

32
00:01:26,210 --> 00:01:24,960
died in the night on a cold and dirty

33
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:26,220
Shore
