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
