There Won't Be Many Coming Home Lyrics - Roy Orbison

Listen all you people 

Try and understand 

You may be a soldier 

Woman, Child or man 

But there won't be many coming home 

No, there won't be many coming home 

oh, there won't be many 

Maybe ten out of twenty 

but there won't be many coming home 

Now the old folks will remember 

On that dark and dismal day 

How their hearts were choked with pride 

As their children marched away 

Now the glory is all gone 

They are left alone

And there won't be many coming home 

No, there won't be many coming home 

oh, there won't be many 

Maybe five out of twenty 

but there won't be many coming home 

Look real closely at the soldier 

Coming at you through the haze 

He May be the younger brother who ran away 

And before you kill another 

Listen to what I say 

Oh, there won't be many coming home 

Oh, there won't be many coming home 

Oh, there won't be many 

There may not be any 

but there won't be many coming home

If they all came back but one 

He was still some mother's son 

And there won't be many coming home 

Oh, there won't be many coming home 

Oh, there won't be many coming home 

Oh, there won't be many coming home...
