[00:13.58]War made him a soldier
[00:17.46]Little Frankie Mear
[00:21.39]Peace left him a loser
[00:24.87]The little bombardier
[00:29.01]Lines of worry appeared with age
[00:33.50]Unskilled hands that knew no trade
[00:36.68]Spent his time in the picture house
[00:40.40]The little bombardier
[00:48.47]Frankie drank his money
[00:52.17]The little that he made
[00:56.31]Told his woes to no man
[01:00.24]Friendless lonely days
[01:04.20]Then one day in the ABC
[01:08.09]Four bright eyes gazed longinly
[01:12.06]At the ice cream in the hand of
[01:15.84]The little bombardier
[01:23.76]Sunshine entered our Frankie's days
[01:27.75]Gone his worries his hopeless maze
[01:31.53]His life was fun and his life was full of joy
[01:39.86]Two young children had changed his aims
[01:43.50]He gave them toffees and played their games
[01:47.49]He brought them presents with every coins he made
[02:27.38]Then two gentlemen called him
[02:31.40]Asked him for his name
[02:35.15]Why was he friends with the children
[02:39.36]Were they just a game
[02:43.11]Leave them alone or we'll get sore
[02:46.77]We've had blokes like you in the station before
[02:50.66]The hand of authority said no more to
[02:54.71]The little bombardier
[02:58.77]Packed his bags his heart in pain
[03:02.66]Wiped a tear caught a train
[03:06.71]Not to be seen in the town again
