Lee Hazlewood - Baghdad Knights lyrics

A soldier was sent

made to go and he went

to exist on the outskirts of hell.

And he wrote a letter to someone

wrote sometimes we fight

sometimes we run

it's just like playing football

…with a gun.

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Those Baghdad Knights!

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Those Baghdad Knights!

And the soldiers they stay

shoot to kill and then pray

they soon leave the outskirts of hell.

And they write their letters to loved ones

write somethimes we fight

sometimes we run

just like playing football

…with a gun.

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Those Baghdad Knights!

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Those Baghdad Knights!

And when the sun fades away

at the end of the day

and the sand in your mind starts to cool

the stars starts to shine

and they play tricks on your mind

`cause you brought your gun to school

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Those Baghdad Knights!

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Those Baghdad Knights!
