Rodger Young - Jim Reeves
On July 31st 1943 a bloody round in the battle for the Solomon Islands
Was being fought in the tangled jungle of the island of New Georgia

This is the story of one of the young men who fought and died there
This song is respectfully dedicated to those heroic infantrymen

Who like Roger Young have sacrificed their lives

That their nation might remain forever free

Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen

Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom

Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen

Volunteered volunteered to meet his doom

Volunteered Roger Young

Fought and died for the men he marched among

In the everlasting courage of the infantry

Was the courage of Private Roger Young

On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons

Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell

That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons

Sleeps a man sleeps a man remembered well

Sleeps a man Roger Young

Fought and died for the men he marched among

In the everlasting glory of the infantry

Lives the story of Private Roger Young
