Verse 1:
      G                   C   
Dear Sarah I’m stuck on a train 
            G
bound for Richmond.
   C                 G       
We marched down from Kernstown 
    D
uphill all the way.
       G                          
At the train stop in Staunton, we 
C             G
pulled up and climbed on
C            G               D  
Then we just sat there for a 
         G
night and a day.

Chorus:
G                  D             
And the nights are long, but I 
       G
write you ev’ry day.
            D            G
And I hum a song that you used to 
sing.
                             C     
The one of sweet William his love, 
        G

Verse 2:
   G                         C    
My insides are all torn from hard 
         G
tack and parch corn.
   C             G                
My hat flew in a windstorm so the 
D
sun has turned me red.
    G                           C 
The first chance to lie still I 
            G
pull out your Bible
    C           G           D
But fall fast asleep before one 
            G
verse is read.

(Repeat Chorus)

      G                    C   
Dear Sarah in parting keep me in 
       G
your heart.
  C               G               
I do not drink or gamble ‘cause I 
D
promised you I’d do.
      G                    C      
So as not to mislead you I did 
          G
have a need to
     C       G              D    
When we were surrounded and 
               G
looked like we were through.
