Verse 2

And when I rose next morning I

was gone before she stirred,

I tore myself away from there

and left without a word.

The sound of distant infantry was

the only thing I heard

On that morning.

But the lesson I'll remember till

And there was no single house they did
D 
Am 
not burn or over- run,
Em 
On that evening.

Verse 6

So I rode out to that place again

as hard as I could ride,

But I found her by the trail along

the lonely mountainside.
G 
In the hands of those brave friends

of mine she suffered and she died,
Em 
Many years ago.
