[00:10.30] |
Tell me tell me weary soldier from the rude and stirring wars |
[00:16.16] |
Was my brother in the battle where you gained those noble scars |
[00:22.31] |
He was ever brave and valiant and i know he never fled |
[00:27.70] |
Was his name among the wounded or numbered with the dead |
[00:34.21] |
Was my brother in the battle when the tide of war ran high |
[00:39.59] |
You would know him in a thousand by his dark and flashing eye |
[00:45.65] |
Tell me tell me weary soldier will he never come again |
[00:51.97] |
Did he suffer mid the wounded or die among the slain |
[01:09.65] |
Was my brother in the battle when the noble highland host |
[01:14.69] |
Were so wrongly outnumbered on the carolina coast |
[01:19.82] |
Did he struggle for the union mid the thunder and the rain |
[01:25.32] |
Til he fell among the brave on a bleak virginia plain |
[01:31.31] |
Oh i'm sure that he was dauntless and his courage ne'er would lag |
[01:37.14] |
While contending for the honour of our dear and cherished flag |
[01:42.60] |
Tell me tell me weary soldier will he never come again |
[01:48.70] |
Did he suffer mid the wounded or die among the slain |
[02:05.90] |
Was my brother in the battle when the flag of erin came |
[02:11.19] |
To the rescue of our banner and protection of our fame |
[02:16.75] |
While the fleet from off the waters poured out terror and dismay |
[02:22.31] |
Til the bold and erring foe fell like leaves on an autumn day |
[02:28.40] |
When the bugle called to battle and the cannon deeply roared |
[02:33.66] |
Oh i wish i could have seen him draw his sharp and glittering sword |
[02:40.12] |
Tell me tell me weary soldier will he never come again |
[02:46.91] |
Did he suffer mid the wounded or die among the slain |
