- Two Soldiers
-
- He was just a blue-eyed Boston boy, his voice was low with pain
- I'll do your bidding, comrade mine, if I ride back again
- But if you ride back and I am left you'd do as much for me
- Mother you know must hear the news so write to her tenderly
-
- She's waiting alone like a patient saint, her fond face pale with woe
- Her heart will be broken when I am gone, I'll see her soon I know
- Just then the order came to charge, for an instant ...
- They set out, away they rode, that brave and devoted man
-
- Straight was the track to the top of the hill, the rebels they shot & shelled
- .... of death through the .... ranks and guarded them as they fell
- There soon came a horrible dying yell from heights they could not gain
- And those that doom and death had spared rode slowly down again
-
- But among the dead that were left on the hill was the boy with the curly hair
- The tall dark man that rode by his side lay dead beside him there
- There's no one to write to the blue-eyed girl the words her lover had said
- Mama you know awaits the news, she'll only know he's dead
