Two Soldiers
He was just a blue-eyed Boston boyCHis voice was low with painG FI'll do your bidding comrade mineCIf I ride back againG CBut if you ride back and I am leftGYou'll do as much for meC FMother you know must hear the newsSongtexteC G C F CSo write to her tenderlyG FShe's waiting at home like a patient saintCHer fond face pale with woeG FHer heart will be broken when I am goneCI'll see her soon I knowG CJust then the order came to chargeGFor an instance hand touched handG FThey said aye and away they rodeC G C F C G C F CThat brave and devoted bandG FStraight was the track to the top of the hillCThe rebels they shot and shelledG CPlowed furrows of deathFThrough the toiling ranksCAnd guarded them as they fellG CThere soon came a horrible dying yellGFrom heights that they could not gainC FAnd those who doom and death had sparedC G C F C G C F CRode slowly back againG FBut among the dead that were left on the hillCWas the boy with the curly hairG FThe tall dark man who rode by his sideCLay dead beside him thereG CThere's no one to write to the blue-eyed girlGThe words that her lover had saidC FMomma you know awaits the newsF CAnd she'll only know he's dead
