We Heard a Bugle Play

From Chong Ju and on to Broken Bridge

North Korea, 3RAR

On the banks of the River Taeryong

We fought the battle of Pak Chong

Mustangs roared into the enemy

And with the Scots we took the ridge

We fought on all through the bitter night

And many diggers died

And floating down 'cross the paddy fields

We heard a bugle play

A last post echoing around the hills

And slowly drift away

We heard a bugle play

Our company was taking heavy fire

Our bugler among the lost

About midnight back on the lower ground

A sad familiar sound

And floating down 'cross the paddy fields

We heard a bugle play

A last post echoing around the hills

And slowly drift away

We heard a bugle play

And floating down 'cross the paddy fields

We heard a bugle play

A last post echoing around the hills

And slowly drift away

Floating down 'cross the paddy fields

We heard a bugle play

A last post echoing around the hills

And slowly drift away

We heard a bugle play
