You valiant old soldier

Go home

You sorry old bad girl

Go home

'Cause by now you've seen it all

Just relax now and recall

All your stories

Forever and ever

Who will stand by you

No one

No brother no cousin

No one

But by now you know it all

So relax now and recall

All your stories

Forever and ever

Oh now goodness knows

You might have done better

But then heaven knows

You might have done worse

If you lit up

The occasional candle

You're allowed the occasional curse

Oh you are a strange one

You are

You're betting on nothing

You are

But by now you've won it all

So relax now and recall

All your stories

Forever and ever

All your stories

Forever and ever
