Twenty years in Missouri, when I left the trees were green Answered the call of fury, to fight for our beliefs My uniform is splendid, my rifle clean Mother I'll write you letters, tell you what I see.
The cannon balls come screamin' ears filled with cries and moans Sometimes I think I'm dreamin', blood on the snow Now my belly's burnin', their lead has found its mark So cold my legs are turnin', the world is goin' dark
I don't claim to understand the force that drives this man Just my faith in what I'm told, bravery is gold Mother it seems a shame to die so far away Will someone send me home
I don't claim to comprehend the feud between these men All I know is what I see, thye don't care for me All the glory's lies, left me here to die Alone and cryin' I bleed.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
