| [00:14.140] |
He fell in love with a girl named Kansas |
| [00:18.700] |
|
| [00:20.590] |
In the fall of 1863 |
| [00:23.970] |
|
| [00:26.790] |
A farm boy and an officer's daughter |
| [00:30.500] |
|
| [00:32.590] |
In a time when young hearts shouldn't dream |
| [00:36.300] |
|
| [00:38.480] |
He said "Kansas I'll live you forever " |
| [00:42.500] |
|
| [00:44.240] |
So she married him under an August sun |
| [00:48.470] |
|
| [00:50.150] |
But as they finished their vows |
| [00:52.980] |
|
| [00:53.610] |
Some soldiers came through town |
| [00:55.520] |
|
| [00:56.410] |
Said "We're lookin' for the willing and the young " |
| [01:00.040] |
|
| [01:02.200] |
He left standin' in her white dress |
| [01:04.900] |
|
| [01:05.460] |
As he bravely marched through the night |
| [01:10.450] |
|
| [01:14.270] |
And as she fell to the ground |
| [01:16.350] |
|
| [01:17.680] |
He left to the sound |
| [01:19.570] |
|
| [01:20.700] |
Of hearing his sweet Kansas cry |
| [01:24.930] |
|
| [01:29.960] |
He learned how to hunt 'round Topeka |
| [01:33.670] |
|
| [01:35.640] |
But he learned how to kill at Spring Hill |
| [01:40.560] |
|
| [01:41.680] |
The blood and the smoke sure crushed any hope |
| [01:46.590] |
|
| [01:47.630] |
That he'd find his way through that hell |
| [01:51.090] |
|
| [01:53.300] |
He left standin' in her white dress |
| [01:55.950] |
|
| [01:56.540] |
As he bravely marched through the night |
| [02:01.610] |
|
| [02:05.360] |
And as she fell to the ground |
| [02:07.500] |
|
| [02:08.530] |
He left to the sound |
| [02:10.650] |
|
| [02:11.650] |
Of hearing his sweet Kansas cry |
| [02:17.360] |
|
| [02:34.880] |
He wrote "Dear Kansas I |
| [02:37.770] |
|
| [02:38.600] |
Fear that tonight I might break your heart |
| [02:43.400] |
|
| [02:44.510] |
'Cus the fog's rollin' in and we're runnin' outta men |
| [02:49.450] |
|
| [02:50.030] |
And we've been ordered to lead the charge " |
| [02:54.840] |
|
| [02:56.200] |
He left her in the white dress |
| [02:59.520] |
As he bravely marched through the night |
| [03:03.870] |
|
| [03:08.360] |
And as he fell to the ground |
| [03:10.440] |
|
| [03:11.680] |
He called her name out |
| [03:13.470] |
|
| [03:14.670] |
And somewhere his sweet Kansas cried |
