This is an anti-war song written in the days of nuclear oppression. I don^Òt think Donovan wrote it and at some stage I came across the last verse.This verse is not on the record ( Donovan Universal Soldier 1966)
Let me tell you the story of a soldier named Dan
Went out to fight the good fight in South Vietnam
Went out to fight for peace.----------------------liberty and all
Went out to fight for equality. Hope let^Òs go
Chorus
And the war drags on
Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones millions without faces--without hope and without homes-- and the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones --that the flesh had long since left just as the people--left their homes--
and the war drags on
They^Òre just there to make the people free but the way that they^Òre doing it--it don^Òt seem like that to me just more blood letting and misery and tears --that this poor country^Òs known--for the last twenty years--
and the war drags on
Last night young Dan had a nightmare it seems one that kept occurring and reoccurring in his dreams millions of people running --screaming and shouting loud and right overhead was a big--mushroom cloud
and there^Òs no more war cause there^Òs no more world and my tears keep fallin down like the rain --on to the blackened ground
