Lyrics

“Just Before the Battle Mother”…Trk 9 (Part of a Civil War song--writer not known)


Just before the battle mother (Young Man)
I am thinking most of you
While upon the fields we’re watching
With the enemy in view

(bagpipes):
Farewell mother you may never
Press me to your heart again
For well we know that on the ‘morrow
Some will number with the slain
