Fightin' Sons Lyrics - Remedy

(Rose Tattoo) 

Well, I was just a young man when they took me across the sea 

Dressed me up in jungle green just to fight for democracy 

I was just an Aussie boy in the jungle for the war 

From all around the world we came not really knowing more 

And you're a long way from home 

Oh yes a long way from home 

When you're all alone 

War's got a way of making strangers into friends 

I met three sons of the south and they became closer than kin 

Thank god the orders came to bring the war to an end 

With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to my best friends

Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me 

We was fightin' for democracy 

Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me 

Us good old boys just got to be free, yeah 

Now I know I'll probably never see those sons of the south again 

To this Australian boy they'll always be closer than kin 

And so I raise my glass to you, Bobby Bear and Bill 

And though we're worlds apart, I'm thinking of you still 

And men will be men wherever they may be 

Deep in my heart you're the only friends of me

Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me 

They were fightin' sons of the confederacy 

Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me 

Us good old boys just got a right to be free 

Bobby and Bear, Sailor Bill and me 

Us good old boys just gotta be free 

We gotta be free, just gotta be free
