BRING ME HOME, BOYS | Pub Songs & Stories Video (Patreon)

"Bring me home, boys." Two soldiers. One bullet. One last request.

Inspired by "The Message," the Firefly episode about carrying a fallen comrade home, Marc Gunn (The Celtfather) tells the story of two soldiers in the thick of battle. One is shot and knows he won't make it back. So he asks his friends for the only thing left to ask: bring me home.

This sci-fi drinking song is from the album Sci Fi Drinking Songs.

LYRICS

Bring me home, boys, bring me home.
Bring me home, boys, bring me home.
Go and tell my momma I died a man.
And when my breath has left, bring me home.

My sergeant said, boy, don't you run.
I don't care if the alliance comes.
I saw him die, but I took a stand.
So go and tell my papa I died a man.

I was brave, boy, as best I can.
I felt my gun shake, as a shot a man,
But bullets pierced my heart, can't feel my hands.
Now go and tell my brother I died a man

Just you and me, boy, are left alive.
But I can tell, not long, until I die.
I did not run cause you're my friend.
So go and tell my sister I died a man.
