| [00:06.263] | Oh we shall meet but we shall miss him. |
| [00:11.417] | There will be one vacant chair. |
| [00:16.463] | We shall linger to caress him, |
| [00:21.804] | While we breathe our ev'ning prayer. |
| [00:26.982] | When a year ago we gathered, |
| [00:32.253] | Joy was in his mild blue eye. |
| [00:37.520] | But a golden cord is severed. |
| [00:42.642] | And our hopes in ruin lie. |
| [00:47.726] | Oh we shall meet, but we shall miss him. |
| [00:53.049] | There will be one vacant chair. |
| [00:58.222] | We shall linger to caress him, |
| [01:03.355] | While we breathe our ev'ning prayer. |
| [01:08.432] | At our fireside, sad and lonely, |
| [01:13.791] | Often will the bosom swell, |
| [01:18.887] | At remembrance of the story, |
| [01:24.063] | How our noble Willie fell. |
| [01:29.137] | How he strove to bear our banner, |
| [01:34.316] | Thro' the thickest of the fight, |
| [01:39.273] | And uphold our country's honor |
| [01:44.323] | In the strength of manhood's might. |
| [01:49.459] | Oh we shall meet but we shall miss him. |
| [01:54.739] | There will be one vacant chair. |
| [01:59.800] | We shall linger to caress him, |
| [02:04.886] | While we breathe our ev'ning prayer. |
| [02:29.536] | True they tell us wreaths of glory, |
| [02:34.852] | Evermore will deck his brow, |
| [02:39.659] | But this soothes the anguish only, |
| [02:44.787] | Sweeping o'er our heartstrings now. |
| [02:49.920] | Sleep today o' early fallen, |
| [02:55.007] | In thy green and narrow bed. |
| [02:59.957] | Dirges from the pine and cypress |
| [03:05.136] | Mingle with the tears we shed. |
| [03:09.899] | Oh we shall meet but we shall miss him. |
| [03:15.178] | There will be one vacant chair. |
| [03:20.231] | We shall linger to caress him, |
| [03:25.274] | While we breathe our ev'ning prayer. |
| [03:49.759] | Oh we shall meet but we shall miss him. |
| [03:54.987] | There will be one vacant chair. |
| [03:59.937] | We shall linger to caress him, |
| [04:05.028] | While we breathe our ev'ning prayer. |
| [04:10.002] | While we breathe our ev'ning prayer. |
