The Ballad of Bull lyrics

Sometimes war is killing, sometimes it's saving lives

It's the judgement of fate, it's nothing that man can dictate

Corporal Leslie Allen carried them from Tambu

Saved his brothers in arms, went out and followed through

There and back again, Bull just carried on

Under fire he carried them out one by one

There and back again, bullets all around

All of the men that he carried away

12 men would now live to see one more day

His fear held at bay, as he carried them away

Sometimes war is killing, sometimes it's saving lives

From Australia's shore, Bull Allen went to war

Sometimes war is saving, sometimes it's taking lives

Thanks to one single man, a dozen more survives

There and back again, Bull just carried on

Under fire he carried them out one by one

There and back again, bullets all around

All of the men that he carried away

12 men would now live to see one more day

His fear held at bay, as he carried them away

Some men return from a war in a bag, and yet the world knows their story

Others return, unwilling to brag, alive and humble at heart

There and back again, Bull just carried on

Under fire he carried them out one by one

There and back again, bullets all around

All of the men that he carried away

12 men would now live to see one more day

His fear held at bay, as he carried them away
