(Stuart Hamblen)



The General just gave me a medal

Oh, I`m a sight for mom to see

But when the news gets round that I ain`t got ole Bill

Some kids gonna think a whole lot less of me.



You see she gave me that puppy

And said he`d protect me through the night

And if I got hurt he`d go for help

Or he`d back me up in a fight.



He growed all the while I was trainin`

Forget him I never will

`Cause you`d never see me with him

Right at my heels was Oklahoma Bill.



We hit a long ridge one sunup

And it seemed like death held all the cards

`Cause we payed and payed with lives of men

For every hard fought yard.



When finally we drove up to the top

There wasn`t nothin` but death behind

And as we all dug in we all thanked God

Though we numbered only nine.



And as the snipers switched their guns

As darkness closed that hill

My soul companion in the night

Was Oklahoma Bill.



There`s no glory in a battle

Ince you`ve seen its awful cost

But there`s glory in the knowledge

That your flag has never lost.



And yet in the stillness of the nightime

And all alone you hold a post

You start cryin` like a baby

Sittin` there with all the ghosts.



You feel your buddies are pattin` your back

Though their guns`re silent and still

It`s only a dog tryin` to love you

My Oklahoma Bill.



I gave my note to the Colonel

And I bound a shattered leg

And I said Bill we`re sure in trouble

He never whimpered or begged.



I could tell he hated to leave me

I was the only God he ever knew

But quick as a flash he took of through the night

Like a fightin` marine would do.



I kept firin` till help finally came

It was him though that saved that hill

A dyin` dog had got through the lines

My Oklahoma Bill.



That little ol` kid will always wonder

What happened to her dog

But she`ll find out on Judgement Day

When she sees the big Skipper`s log.



We`ll all walk in and bugles`ll blow

And we`ll stand our last revue

And men who`ve died for men on earth

Will get their heavenly dues.



And if all brave hearts are there that day

I`ll get my greatest thrill

When I hang this medal around the neck

Of Oklahoma Bill...
