Keep Your Head Down


To my lovely grandson Tony who is off to the army today 6/9/2009 on his 17th birthday. Keep your head down son. love always Nannie xxx

Marching now to army bands
Stepping out in foreign lands
Soldier boy, just seventeen
Tall and handsome, young and keen.

Keep your head down very low
Careful laddie as you go
Being brave`s all very well
But you know the truth to tell

Soldiering can be so tough
You`re a diamond in the rough
Still a lot you have to know
Careful laddie as you go.

I`m so proud of all you are
Everything you`ve done so far
Now you go with head held high
Bonnie lad you touch the sky

Happy birthday soldier boy
Remember guns are not a toy
Keep safe, be happy,proud and true
Soldier boy we all love you.
