lyrics

I love you my sweet Abigail
I hope this finds you well
I’ve not a second I can spare
So my story I will tell
Oh Joseph when I read the words
In letters that you send
I pray that in this world or next
I’ll see your face again

We left Danville for Caroline
And on to St. Louis
We stopped a while to dry our bones
That’s where they got to me

You’d never know your son I say
He’s grown up tall and right
He’s got his momma’s golden hair
And all his daddy’s fight

We marched for weeks and months my love
Straight through the driving rain
I’m just as worn as this tattered flag
They’ve tied around my brain

The sun, it shines, upon our home
Our family and our farm
I’d gladly trade it all away
To lie within your arms

I sit beneath this old oak tree
And fear I won’t return
The bullet’s deep inside my chest
As I watch our battle turn

Easy come and easy go
That’s what my father says
I can’t imagine that he’s known
A love quite like this

I long to come back home to you
And hold you in the night
Where willows hold those cobbled streets
And war is far from sight

There’s just one thing I ask of you
That’s keep me in your mind
And I will think of you my dear
When I leave this world behind
