Alone in his room
his eyes are sad
that same old tune
playing over and over.
Remembering the times he had
when he was young
and not an old soldier.
Pain in his heart
and his bones are weary
no-one to talk to
no-one to hear, he
wraps his coat a little closer
but who cares,
he's just an old soldier.
Just an old soldier,just an old soldier
just an old soldier
and nobody cares.
The friends that he fought with
shoulder to shoulder
are all gone now
yeah, just an old soldier
The noise of battle ringing in his ears
still, to this day
oh just an old soldier.
For his country he fought
with honour and pride
and the scars he bears
will always remind him
of the boys he left behind
just an old soldier........

*I do solemnly declare and affirm
that I will be faithful and bear
true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
and her Heirs and Successors
and that I will
as in duty bound
honestly and faithfully
defend Her Majesty
her Heirs and Successors
in Person,Crown and Dignity
against all enemies
and will observe and obey
all orders of Her Majesty
Her Heirs and Successors
of the Generals ad Officers set above me *
(The British Army Vow of Allegiance)

just an old Soldier, Just an old Soldier.
just an old soldier, just an old soldier
