Lyrics

The glistening apples in the sun
Shone down on everyone
While our voices sang so high
And the young girls sighed and sighed

The young men march off to war
Dancing shoes left on the floor
They watched an eagle soar
As they heard the cannon roar

Jacks and knights (CHORUS)
Ace of Spades
Birth of life
End of days

Bring us back
The golden age
The boys of summer
The happy days

The fathers wanted to win
They drowned their fears in gin
And the mothers wore their pins
And prayed in the lonesome winds

The battle was cold and hard
Left men but broken shards
Hidden within the cards
Was the queen of lonely hearts

(CHORUS)

The ripened apples in the sun
Fell down on everyone
While the widows wept and cried
For the young men who had died

We sing this song today
So our children still can play
May the sun?s great shining rays
Dry all our tears away

(CHORUS X2)

Jacks and Knights
Ace of Spades
