Sometime back I was looking to the words for a song that I really like. No one ever responded to my query. Finally found an old song collection of my own with the words in it. I think it is a fine song and should be sung more widely, (and very timely if you ask me) but don't know how to submit it here and have concerns about legal stuff. I want to respect the rights of the author.
This is the song, which I had on an old tape of a band I think used to be in the Minneapolis area? Walking on Air. I think the author was in the band:

9) Bangalore
Don Clark/ Walking on Air

The days are long, the nights come on
And whisper we may soon be gone
Until that day we'll carry on
Outside the walls of Bangalore
My name is Williams, I was sent
With fifteen thousand boys and men
To guard the peace with our bayonets
Outside the walls of Bangalore

Chorus:
If we ever see good weather
If I ever see my home
I'll take my family in my arms
And never think of Bangalore

The first day here we turned our guns
On boys no older than my son
They'd only knives but still they'd come
Outside the walls of Bangalore
One soldier asked the captain why
Our wounded foes were left to die
The lash cost that young man his eye
Outside the walls of Bangalore

At night the soldiers drink and sing
Of women soft and England green
Amid the laughter, tears do stream
Outside the walls of Bangalore
I wonder why they sent us here
To guard our tea and spice so dear
Or was it just a white man's fear
Of freedom down in Bangalore

Sorry I'm not good with the line breaks.
