    Well mister I just overheard you talking through your drink
    <br>
    How the Russians lie like rugs how they've pushed us to the brink
    <br>
    Now sit right here beside me I've an old man's tale to tell
    <br>
    How Yanks and Reds were friends once at the Elbe.
    <br>
    My name is Joe Polowski I hitched up in '41
    <br>
    Left my sweetheart in Chicago and I learned to fire a gun
    <br>
    The fog in the Ardennes so thick you could not see your nose
    <br>
    Nor the ghosts in the Belgian wood advancing through the snow.
    <br>
    We left our dead behind us and we scaled the Dragon's Teeth
    <br>
    With screaming mimis overhead not one of us could sleep
    <br>
    Some fell to the enemy some fell to the creeping cold
    <br>
    And I killed a German sniper who was not fourteen years old.
    <br>
    When a soldier takes a hit my friend it ain't like Hollywood
    <br>
    Bone and guts go flying and everywhere there's blood
    <br>
    For a moment he is mystified there must be some mistake
    <br>
    As it all drains out in a crimson lake.
    <br>
    Then April turned the weather and likewise the tide of war
    <br>
    As haggard hungry Germans surrendered by the score
    <br>
    And thank god for the Russians who took the battle's brunt
    <br>
    And broke the back of the Wermacht along the eastern front. Then
    <br>
    We saw a burst of lilacs and the river swift and wide
    <br>
    And rest and welcome waiting for us on the other side
    <br>
    And Yanks and Reds laughed out loud to be alive at the Elbe.
    <br>
    We caught the glint of water and upon the distant shore
    <br>
    Men and trucks and horses not German and not ours
    <br>
    No bridge to cross but at the dock a boat securely tied
    <br>
    We blew the chain and rowed like demons for the other side.
    <br>
    But when we stepped up on the land oh Jesus what a sight
    <br>
    Blackened bodies of civilians like driftwood piled high
    <br>
    Cut down by stray artillery -- what the hell is it all for
    <br>
    We knelt and cursed the cruelty and madness men call war.
    <br>
    Three Russians approached us, we shook hands and then embraced
    <br>
    Stalingrad had traced it's lines of sadness on their face
    <br>
    Upon that field of corpses these weary happy men
    <br>
    Swore an oath that it must never happen again.
    <br>
    And then we wept and cheered and spoke in languages unknown
    <br>
    They poured us Russian vodka by god we drank it down
    <br>
    We sang "The Volga Boatman" they sang "Tavern in the Town"
    <br>
    I never kissed so many men as on that afternoon when
    <br>
    We saw a burst of lilacs and the river swift and wide
    <br>
    And rest and welcome waiting for us on the other side
    <br>
    And Yanks and Reds laughed out loud to be alive at the Elbe.
    <br>
    But no sooner were we stateside than the cold war headlines read
    <br>
    Commies in the unions commies under every bed
    <br>
    Hurrah the Nazi devil's down long live the devil Red
    <br>
    And not one word about the oath we swore amongst the dead.
    <br>
    There are kids today who'll tell you we fought Russia in the war
    <br>
    There are armchair heroes set to settle some old score
    <br>
    There are profiteers and pushers primed to send young men once more
    <br>
    To blow themselves to glory on some godforsaken shore.
    <br>
    So drape my coffin with the flag of the good old USA
    <br>
    Let Yanks in army khaki and Reds in Russian gray
    <br>
    Lower me so gently into the German clay
    <br>
    And speak again the oath we swore that day when
    <br>
    We saw a burst of lilacs and the river swift and wide
    <br>
    And rest and welco
