On the fourth day of May, I want out a-walking.
'Twas a bright sunny day, 'til I heard someone talking.
I listened awhile to the things they were saying:
"Lord above, Lord above, there were four killed at Kent!"
With fists clenched so tightly, I walked through the town there.
I went to the commons to see what was down there.
There were banners a-waving, loudspeakers all 'round there.
"Lord above, Lord above, there were four killed at Kent!"
Now it's nearly five years (now it's been many years) since the guns was a-blazing,
And it seems we've gone numb in the process of aging,
For not much has come from that war we were waging,
"Lord above, Lord above, there were four killed at Kent!"
