Lyrics

It was out at the place called Kohima
Where most of the fighting was done
'twas there that a lad from the Borders
Fell to a Japanese gun
Now as he lay there in the jungle
And the blood from his wounds did flow red
He gathered his comrades around him
And these were the words that he said
"Oh, bury me out in the jungle,"
"Under the old Burma Sun."
"Bury me out in the jungle,"
"My duty to England is done."
So they buried him out in the jungle
By the light of the far setting Sun
They buried him out in the jungle
His job for his country was done
Now when you get back to old England
And the war is all over and won
Just remember that poor British Tommy
Under the old Burma Sun
