Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Far and wide as the eye can wander
Heath and bog are everywhere
Not a bird sings out to greet us
Trees are standing gaunt and bare
[Verse 2]
We are the peat bog soldiers
Marching with our spades to the moor
Up and down the guards are pacing
No one, no one can get through
Flight would mean a sure death facing
Guns and barbed wire block our view
[Verse 3]
We are the peat bog soldiers
Marching with our spades to the moor
But for us there is no complaining
Winter will in time be past
Then once more we will stand rejoicing
Homeland, dear, you're mine at last
[Verse 4]
No more the peat bog soldiers
Will march with our spades to the moor
Far and wide as the eye can wander
Heath and bog are everywhere
Not a bird sings out to greet us
Trees are standing gaunt an bare
[Verse 5]
We are the peat bog soldiers
Marching with our spades to the moor
