Young virgin soldiers
The innocence of youth
Fighting for their country
But never told the truth
That virgin soldiers
May never go home
That they may die in battle
Afraid and alone
Can you really fight
Virgin soldiers?
Do you know wrong from right
Virgin soldiers?
Private Spring and Langtry
Are spending all their pay
Buying wine and women
And leading them astray
So virgin soldiers
Love while you may
For you may not live
To love another day
Can you really fight
Virgin soldiers?
Do you know wrong from right
Virgin soldiers?
But oh, virgin soldiers
Will you be going home?
Or will you die in battle
Afraid and alone?
Oh, virgin soldiers
When will you learn
Some men will live
And some will not return
Can you really fight
Virgin soldiers?
Do you know wrong from right
Virgin soldiers?
