One October day, one October day,
A woman mourned her fallen man, one October day
(repeat 2nd line)
One October day, one October day
She laid his body in the grave, one October day
(rep. as above)
He was a man like you and me,
Had his feelings had his pride,
Fed his wife and family
Until the day he died on...
One October day, one October day,
She wiped the tears from her eyes one October day
(repeat)
Didn't have a famous name,
Didn't have publicity,
Just a pawn in the game
To juggle with statistically...
One October day, one October day,
Little children learnt to hate one October day
(repeat)
