lyrics

SOLDIERS OF THE SMALL
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)

Even as the bullets were flying
A brave telephone operator
Grabbed her baby and rushed to
The telephone exchange
She lit a match to see the connections
Rifle fire blew the windows out
Spraying her and her baby with glass
Yet she managed to get through
Hang on, hang on
That's what you gotta do
Hang on little babies
Hang on little babies
Hang on little babies
Hang on is what you gotta do

Seeing smoke from the fire
The train crew knew the engine had blown

This I love to realize:
The town had been invaded
They backed up to a safe location
And telegraphed El Paso, Texas with the news

Hang on little babies!
Hang on little babies!
Hang on little babies!
