Key: D major•
Verse 1
waiting to go overseas and
I had a weekend pass
and went up to New York
and found that Moses Ashe,
who later on ran Folkways records
was willing to record these songs
of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.
And on Sunday we recorded six songs,
A
some in English,
I didn't really know how to speak
or sing the language,
the brigade members
A
D
didn't know very well either.
There's a valley in Spain called Jarama
A
D
And so many of our brave comrades fell.
We are proud of the Lincoln Battalion,
D
G
There we fought like the sons of the people,
A
D
as a part of the 15th Brigade.
When I went back to Spain in 1971,
I was not allowed to sing these songs
and I came back and sang
and of course I sang all these songs.
Bb
A
D
Now remember
the valley of Rama
And the ones who would set
A
D
You will never find friends such as we.
From this valley you know we are going,
G
I said, how come you sing these songs
in the same versions that I sing?
And they said, oh,
we learned them off your record.
and brought them across the border
Of course, if we played them very loud,
Bb
A
So that little record
some of these songs.
A
D
All the world is like the valley Harama,
D
A
D
but for the memories we carry from there.
Now we're far from that valley, Harama,
G
A
But for the memories we
D
G
A
D
carry from there.
That little record kept alive in Spain
