I remember barrack one seven zero, How we polished up the windows and the floor And the times that we ran jankers Until we couldn't take it any more. All because of a night on the town, We were out there havin' a ball; We bumped into the barrack Sergeant But the two of us were out AWOL. I wrote this song for you Bob, I wrote this song for you. In memory of a very good friend; Bob you were a brave man too. I wrote this song for you Bob. I know what you went through; Life goes on; so does a song so I wrote this one for you. I remember when I got my furlough how it felt to be a little bit free; Then I got your mother's letter. I wondered why she wrote to me. I see those words like yesterday, I never thought that I could weep. She asked me to 'phone you to cheer you up 'Cause they said you wouldn't last the week. I wrote this song for you Bob, I wrote this song for you. In memory of a very good friend; Bob you were a brave man too. I wrote this song for you Bob. I know what you went through; Life goes on; so does a song so I wrote this one for you. I remember well the day that it happened They say you never even shed a tear And you knew that you were going; I only wish I could have been near And so did a certain sad little girl Who always said that she would wait And now and again she has been seen standing at the barrack gate. I wrote this song for you Bob, I wrote this song for you. In memory of a very good friend; Bob you were a brave man too. I wrote this song for you Bob. I know what you went through; Life goes on; so does a song so I wrote this one for you. I wrote this song for you Bob, I wrote this song for you. In memory of a very good friend; Bob you were a brave man too. I wrote this song for you Bob. I know what you went through; Life goes on; so does a song so I wrote this one for you.
