They say a Piper plays in Helmand
For the Fallen cross the sea
His calming notes help the wounded
From the mountains comes his strathspey
Not a soul has ever seen him
But the tribesmen do remind
That their forefathers first heard this strange sound
Back in 1839
So if you get lost in Helmand
Don’t worry unduly
You might just hear the ghostly piper
On guard for British soldiers
From across the stormy sea
