Just Before The Battle, Mother
Lyricist:David Gates
Just before the battle, mother I am thinking most of you While upon the field we're watching With the enemy in view
Comrades brave are Around me lying Filled with thoughts of home and God For well, they know that on the morrow Some will sleep beneath the sod
Farewell, mother, you may never Press me to your breast again But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother If I'm numbered with the slain
Oh, I long to see you, mother And the loving ones at home But I'll never leave our banner Till in honor I can come
Tell the traitors all around you That their cruel words we know Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com In every battle kill our soldiers By the help they give the foe
Farewell, mother, you may never Press me to your breast again But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother If I'm numbered with the slain
Hark, I hear the bugles sounding 'Tis the signal for the fight Now, may God protect us, mother As He ever does the right
Hear the battle cry of freedom How it swells upon the air Oh, yes, we'll rally 'round the standard Or we'll perish nobly there
Farewell, mother, you may never Press me to your breast again But, oh, you'll not forget me, mother If I'm numbered with the slain
