[Verse 1]
       A                D      G
He was just a blue-eyed Boston boy
                       D
His voice was low with pain.
     A               D       G
I'll do your bidding comrade mine,
                 D
If I ride back again.
       A                 D
But if you ride back and I am left
       A
You'll do as much for me.
A                     D        G
Mother you know, must hear the news
                     D
So write to her tenderly.

      A                      D    
She's waiting at home like a 
   G
patient saint
                        D
Her fond face pale with woe.
    A                         D   
Her heart will be broken when I am
  G
 gone

                     D
I'll see her soon, I know
     A              D
Just then the order came to charge
       A
For an instant hand touched hand
A                     D        G
They said "Aye" and away they rode
                       D
That brave and devoted band.

[Verse 3]
A                             D  
Straight was the track to the top
        G
 of the hill
                         D
The rebels they shot and shelled.
        A                          
Plowed furrows of death through the
 D        G
 toilling ranks
                         D
And guarded them as they fell
      A                    D
There soon came a horrible dying 
yell
     A
From heights that they could not 
gain
A                       D         
And those that doom and death had 
 G
spared
                  D
Rode slowly back again.

[Verse 4]
     A                       D    
But among the dead that were left 
      G
on the hill
                           D
Was the boy with the curly hair
    A                  D           
The tall dark man that rode by his 
G
side
                    D
Lay dead beside him there
        A                     
There's no one to write to the 
 D
blue-eyed girl
    A
The words that her lover had said
A                  D        G
Momma, you know, awaits the news
                          D
And she'll only know he's dead.
