My boy came home from the war today I stood by as his plane touched down An infantryman on foreign shores Coming on back to his hometown And it's been so long since he's been gone I stand before him now and gaze in disbelief My boy came home from the war today Draped in the Mapleleaf
My boy came home from the war today With a medal for valour in combat They hoisted high on their shoulders And everyman gathered there clutched his hat But no fanfare played and no speeches were made No pretty young maids waved a hankerchief My boy came home from the war today Draped in the Mapleleaf
When my boy came home from the war today He was draped in the Mapleleaf My boy came home from the war today Now my heart is filled with grief
