The French Battlefront

I became a driver to pick up dead bodies
 My main job
 At first, it's kinda hard but after a while
 Somehow I get used to it, a dead body on a stretcher
 One time I knew the guy, that was hard
 Tommy, he was a sergeant, machine gun section leader
 Not on my section but the next section
 And we trained for one year
 So I sat next to him, uh, just the whole night
 I'd remember sleeping, I sat on my helmet
 That's what we, we all had helmets
 That was a good, great, you know, support
 We sat on, I sat on it and I saw Tommy lying in front of me
 In his uniform and very much at peace, asleep
 And uh, he was so clean, I mean
 His uniform, I remember there's no blood or anything
 ♪
 Yeah, uh, it is, uh, I guess I'm really sad, the loss
 He was a good guy, I mean, decent, good guy
