lyrics

Goodbye oh Benny Boy will this by the last time?
Goodbye oh Benny Boy I'm sorry you see me crying
Goodbye oh Benny boy you say you got a job to do
But I know the gun is trained on you
Yes I know the gun is trained on you

Flying back to base Benny came down
Helicopter crash then Benny was gone
He was a loved brother an son wounded on this mission

His heart was with his squadron "Nil Desperandum"
Soon he will be home to stay
And I'll live to see another day without you

Benny Boy will this by the last time?
Goodbye oh Benny Boy I'm sorry you see me crying
Goodbye oh Benny boy you say you got a job to do
But I know the gun is trained on you
Yes I know the gun is trained on you

Benny has left me for you
Benny oh my trooper where are you?

Goodbye oh Benny Boy will this by the last time?
Goodbye oh Benny Boy I'm sorry you see me crying
