Come Buy A Poppy R Duncan Come Buy A Poppy. He stands on the corner, alone in the rain People walk past,they think He's a pain He thinks back over the years, of the friends that he lost Who fought in the rain, and the mud at a cost. He stands there alone, with a tear in his eye Those friends who have gone, and did not say goodbye They didn�t have time, to say a guid fond farewell The bullet hit the target, and the brave soldier fell. He stands there ignored, with the can in his hand Feeling sadness for those, He left in that land Stranger�s see an old man, standing alone feeling soppy Why won�t they remember the reason, and come buy a poppy.
