Willie was a sailor
C D
He sailed on the sea
G Bm
And Willie said a sailor's life
C D
Is the life for me
Em Am
But they sent him into battle
Em Am
For to lay down his life
D Bm
And Willie said a sailor's life
C D
Is not for me
So Willie joined the air force

He learnt how to fly
And Willie said how happy
He was flying in the sky
But they sent him into battle
For to lay down his life
And Willie said the air force is no life for me
Now Willie got to thinking
People were plotting for his life
So he bought himself a watchtower
And locked himself inside
But the tower looked o'er a battlefield
Where men laid down their lives
And Willie had to laugh but then he cried
