France's sun was slowly |
| [00:14.23] |
Sinking o'er the hilltops far away |
| [00:17.58] |
The land was in its beauty |
| [00:19.83] |
Where the dying soldier lay |
| [00:23.36] |
Tears were streaming down his face |
| [00:27.10] |
As he slowly raised his head |
| [00:29.56] |
And these were the dying words he said: |
| [00:34.49] |
"Oh, carry me back to old Tennessee" |
| [00:39.43] |
"Let this be my last repose" |
| [00:43.80] |
"Lay my feet beneath the lilacs" |
| [00:49.55] |
"Lay my head beneath the rose" |
| [00:55.10] |
|
| [01:16.65] |
"Take this message to my mother |
| [01:19.62] |
"For I know she's old and gray" |
| [01:22.50] |
"At home I know she's |
| [01:24.10] |
Waiting,looking for her boy some day" |
| [01:28.46] |
"Oh, dear mother, I pulled through for my country and for you" |
| [01:34.23] |
"And I'm dying for the red, white, and blue" |
| [01:39.41] |
"Oh, carry me back to old Tennessee" |
| [01:44.05] |
"Let this be my last repose" |
| [01:49.09] |
"Lay my feet beneath the lilacs" |
| [01:54.17] |
"Lay my head beneath the rose" |
| [01:58.47] |
|
| [02:21.01] |
"O'er the hills of Tennessee where the wild winds wander free" |
| [02:27.15] |
"The little girl waiting there for me" |
| [02:32.26] |
"Tell her that the rose she gave me will be placed upon my grave" |
| [02:37.66] |
"In memory of her soldier brave" |
| [02:42.49] |
"Oh, carry me back to old Tennessee" |
| [02:47.58] |
"Let this be my last repose" |
| [02:52.45] |
"Lay my feet beneath the lilacs" |
| [02:57.33] |
"Lay my head beneath the rose" |
| [02:59.84] |
