No ownership of the song.

Dont Cry Mister Davis LYRICS

Yeah, hey, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooh, yeah

Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing here
In the middle of this hell-torn war
The Bible says love thy enemies
The lieutenant says shoot some more
Then I see my best friend, Johnny Davis
Sent down to the front line
Then I hear this big, big damn rifle blast
Johnny Davis was at the wrong place at the wrong time

But don't cry Mrs. Davis 'cause your son has fallen
You're just like me
You washed your hands of it all
I think it's time we realize that we just can't win
But the sun comes up and we do it all over again
La la la la
The sun comes up and we do it all over again

Hey

The next day I was down in them trench holes
Man, that place smelled like chop suey
You guessed it, another gun blast and on the receiving end
Was the youngest of us, Little Louie
As he slipped into the mud I heard his last words
"I'm not ready to leave this world"
I had enough time, I had enough time to ask him why
He said, "I never even kissed a girl."

But dont cry Mrs. Louie 'cause your son has fallen
You're just like me
You washed your hands of it all
I think it's time we realize that we just can't win
But the sun comes up and we do it all over again
La la la la
The sun comes up will we do it all over again

Yeah

A blind man coulda seen the hate in the other side's eyes
As they stopped us from where we was heading
The good boys thought it was the coming of the devil
The bad boys thought it was Armageddon
As they took aim I stared to the sky and said "God, I just wanna be free."
It was then that I heard the last gunshot I ever heard in my life
Except this time it was pointed at me.

But don't cry my dear mother 'cause your son has fallen
You're just like me
You washed your hands of it all
I thought by now we'd realize that we just can't win
I had so much I wanted to do in my life, man
I didn't know where to begin
And now you got me dead
I'm as cold as a stone
I'm wonderin' are you happy now
Now that you're all alone
And maybe Sunday afternoon if you're not too busy
Please step by my grave for awhile
I hope mine ain't to hard to find, Mama
'Cause damn that graveyard goes on for miles and miles and miles and miles
And if I ask you one last question will you at least listen?
If the sun comes up will we do it all over again?
La la la la
If the sun comes up will we do it all over again?
Uh, ho
If the sun comes up will we do it all over again?
