"Soldaten drog ut i kriget,
Med kulspruta och gevr
Han kysste sin mor p kinden och
P munnen den han hll kr
Flickan sa till soldaten: jag lovar dig vad du vill
Och han sa: du r den ende jag kommer tillbaka till
S klev han ombord p tget, och for ver berg och dal
Men nr han kom fram till fronten fanns dr ingen general
Det sa:s att "generalen nog vore tillbaka strax"
Men han satt p stadshotellet och kkade gravad lax
Man vntade i en vecka, man vntade nstan tv
Till slut kom man verens om att stta igng nd
Fr kriget ska ju krigas; om ocks till siste man!
Bomberna brjade hagla, och stder och byar brann
Flickan skrev till soldaten; undrade hur det var?
Men alla brev kom tillbaka och aldrig kom det n't svar
Sg vart tog soldaten vgen, sg var blev soldaten av?
Sg kommer han nnsin ter? Sg vilar han i sin grav?
Flickan talar till mnen, men mnen ger inte svar
Och hrt att stjrnorna talar r det nog bara du som har
Men modern talar till jorden som vi alla kommer frn
Sker hon tillrckligt lnge s hittar hon nog sin son"
