[Traditional]
2
He was just a blue-eyed boston boy
3
His voice was low with pain
4
I'll do your bidding commrad mine
5
If i ride back again
6
But if you ride back and i am dead
7
You'll do as much for me
8
Mother, you know, must hear the news
9
So write to her tenderly
10
She's a-waiting at home like a patient saint
11
Her fallen face paled with woe
12
Her heart would be broken when i am gone
13
I'll see her soon, i know.
14
Just then the order came to charge
15
For an instant hand touched hand
16
They sayed "aye" and away they rode
17
That brave and devoted band
18
Straight was the course to the top of the hill
19
And the rebels they shot and shelled
20
Plowed furroughs of death through the toiling ranks
21
And guarded them as they fell
22
There soon was a horrible dying yell
23
From heights that they could not gain
24
And those who doom and death had spared
25
Rode slowly back again
26
But among the dead that were left on the hill
27
Was the boy with curly hair
28
The tall dark man who fought by his side
29
Lay dead beside him there
30
Well there was was no one to write to the blue-eyed girl
31
The words that her lover had said
32
While mother at home is awaiting her boy
33
She'll only know he's dead
34
She'll only know he's dead
