Tell Carmelita

(الألبوم: Spirit Of The Anzacs - 2015)

I'm writing from my tent in Nui Dat
A candle light flickers across the page
It's about nine-thirty, there's so much to tell
That I'll have to keep it short it's getting late

I guess you've already heard about Long Tan
We stumbled on some VC on patrol
The bullets started flying I was forward scout
I should have been the first one to fall

And I wish I was there Camelita beside me
Stars in her eyes and the sun in her hair
I've sent home a jacket I want her to wear it
And don't forget to tell Camilita I love her

They've flooded us in dark and deadly ways
They pinned us down we held off each attack
Bullets ripped the jungle Dougie yelled I'm hit
We all thought we'd never make it back

And I wish I was there Camelita beside me
Stars in her eyes and the sun in her hair
I've sent home a jacket I want her to wear it
And don't forget to tell Camilita I love her

I wonder if I'll ever make it back

And I wish I was there Camelita beside me
Stars in her eyes and the sun in her hair
I've sent home a jacket I want her to wear it
And don't forget to tell Camilita I love her

And I wish I was there
