lyrics

One morning, one morning, one morning in May
I watched through my window as he marched away.
Through fields lately blooming, they sang as they went
The sons of the poor, ‘til their blood all was spent.

Oh my, my, who’s gonna pay
For every sweetheart taken this way?
Oh my, my who will replace
Your sons and your daughters when they’re gone away?

Oh darlin’, my darlin’, don’t grieve for me so
I’ll come home a hero before the first snow.
They have no hope against us, our numbers are too strong;
You must stop your cryin’ for nothing can go wrong.

Oh mother, dear mother, I’ve seen all the signs
I know I’m a-slippin’, and wanderin’ in my mind.
Oh take me to that river and let me wade across,
There’s no point in lingerin’; our battles all are lost.
