Two Soldiers

C       G               F
He was just a blue-eyed Boston boy
                       C
His voice was low with pain
     G               F
I'll do your bidding comrade mine
               C
If I ride back again
    G                    C
But if you ride back and I am left
       G
You'll do as much for me
           C         F
Mother you know must hear the news
                    C    G C  F C
So write to her tenderly
      G                      F
She's waiting at home like a patient
 saint
                        C
Her fond face pale with woe
    G                    F
Her heart will be broken when I am 
gone

I'll see her soon I know
     G              C
Just then the order came to charge
       G
For an instance hand touched hand
G                 F
They said aye and away they rode
                       C   G  C  
That brave and devoted band
F  C  G  C  F  C

         G                    F
Straight was the track to the top of
 the hill
                         C
The rebels they shot and shelled
       G          C
Plowed furrows of death
            F
Through the toiling ranks
                         C
And guarded them as they fell
G                          C
There soon came a horrible dying 
yell
     G
>From heights that they could not 
gain
              C         F
And those who doom and death had 
spared
                 C    G  C  F  C
Rode slowly back again
   G  C  F C

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