Luyện nghe bài hát I Was Only 19

Mum and Dad and Danny saw the out parade at Puckapunyal
It was a long march cadets
The sixth battalion was the next to tour and it was me who the card
We did Canungra and Shoalwater we left

And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the
This clipping from the shows us young and strong and clean
And there's me in me hat with me SLR and greens
God me - I was only nineteen

Vung Tau riding Chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat
I'd in and out of choppers now for months
And we made our a home, V.B. and pinups on the lockers
And an orange sunset through the scrub

And can you tell me, doctor, why I still get to sleep?
And night time's a jungle dark and a barking M.16?
And what's this rash that and goes, can you tell me what it means?
God help me - I was nineteen

A four week operation, when each can mean your last one on two legs
It was a war yourself
But you wouldn't let your mates down 'til had you dusted off
So you closed your eyes and thought about somethin'

And then someone yelled out "Contact", and the bloke behind me
We hooked in there for hours, a God almighty roar
And Frankie kicked a mine the day that kicked the moon
God help me - he was goin' home in

And I can still see Frankie, drinkin' tinnies in the Hotel
On a thirty-six hour rec. leave in Tau
And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the
'Til the morphine came and the bloody row

And the Anzac didn't mention mud and blood and tears
And the stories my father told me never seemed quite real
I caught some in my back that I didn't even feel
God me, I was only 19
