THE WOMEN ON THE WALL

©1991 music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle

On this earth at another time

You gave your life to save mine
In that war so far away

You cared for me in a special way
I heard your voice as you spoke to me

You gave up what you could be
You nursed me through the lonely nights

As the rockets came 'til dawn's early light
Oh Oh Farewell (Carol Drazba 1966)

Oh Oh Farewell (Elizabeth Jones 1966)
 

(Chorus:)

Women on the Wall

Your spirit is strong

Women on the Wall
The boys say so long

Women on the Wall

God bless you all
We'll always remember

The Women on the Wall
 

At Saigon, Chu Lai and Pleiku

Your tenderness was all we knew
You gave us strength, kept hope alive

You gave your love so we'd survive
Oh Oh Farewell (Eleanor Alexander 1967)

Oh Oh Farewell (Hedwig Orlowski 1967)

 

(Chorus)


Carol and Elizabeth you're living on

Eleanor and Hedwig not really gone
Pamela and Sharon history will tell

Annie and Mary we'll remember you well
Oh Oh Farewell (Pamela Donovan 1968/Sharon Lane 1968)
Oh Oh Farewell (Annie Graham 1969/Mary Klinker 1975)

 

(Chorus)

 

Women on the Wall

Your spirit is strong

Women on the Wall
The boys say so long

Women on the Wall

God bless you all
We'll always remember

The Women on the Wall

With love in our hearts

The Women on the Wall

We'll always remember

The Women on the Wall.
