Lyrics
Buried in the yard under three feet of earth
In the arbor, lies a box made of tin
Buried in a field under six feet of earth
Lies a pine box, a soldier within
The tin box holds a medal
For bravery under fire
The pine box holds no medal
Just a boy whose life expired
Just a boy
Just a boy
Someone has to tell
Tell his mother he's gone
Tell his mother he's gone
Tell his mother he's gone
Buried in the yard under three feet of earth
In the arbor, lies a box made of tin
Open the lid and you'll see for yourself
A medal for courage lies within
But the boy who won the medal
Is haunted by the face in the ground
Of the unknown soldier
That his bullet found
Buried in the yard under three feet of earth
Buried in a field under six feet of earth
Buried are the spirits, never rising again
Of two boys, two soldiers, two men
In the arbor, lies a box made of tin
Buried in a field under six feet of earth
Lies a pine box, a soldier within
The tin box holds a medal
For bravery under fire
The pine box holds no medal
Just a boy whose life expired
Just a boy
Just a boy
Someone has to tell
Tell his mother he's gone
Tell his mother he's gone
Tell his mother he's gone
Buried in the yard under three feet of earth
In the arbor, lies a box made of tin
Open the lid and you'll see for yourself
A medal for courage lies within
But the boy who won the medal
Is haunted by the face in the ground
Of the unknown soldier
That his bullet found
Buried in the yard under three feet of earth
Buried in a field under six feet of earth
Buried are the spirits, never rising again
Of two boys, two soldiers, two men
