1864歌词

作词 : Galen Crew/Roger Cook
作曲 : Galen Crew/Roger Cook
Poor young Union soldier
Weary to the bone
Wounded on the battlefield
Far away from home
Winter 1864
Deep in Tennessee
Fighting for Old Glory
The end of slavery
Wandering from a sea of death
Half out of his mind
Heading north of Nashville
To the blue Kentucky line
Came upon a farmhouse
Middle of the night
He scared a rebel’s widow
Standing in the lantern’s light
The widow gave him shelter
Said you must leave at dawn
But a fever came upon him
She let him linger on
The hours turned to days
And the days turned into weeks
Until the war was over
And time for him to leave
Don’t go away, she cried
Your place is here with me
I want you by my side
And so it came to be
