Lyrics
THE DRAFT
Remember last September my brother went to war
Three months out of high school
He did not know what for
But as a loyal citizen he did not question why
The draft was now the law all young men must abide
Four months to the day my brother went to war
The chaplain brought a telegram, Need I say more
Lost for words of sympathy, his fifth stop of the day
And as he left his bumper read ?Buy a war bond today?
Coming this September, it?s my turn to go to war
Like my dead brother, I do not know what for
But as a loyal citizen, I?ve learned to question why
The draft is still the law this young man will not abide
