Verse 1
G
In a dreary Yankee prison
D
Where a rebel soldier lay,
by his side there stood a preacher,
G
Ere his soul should pass away.
And he faintly whispered, Parson,
D
as he clutched him by the hand
Oh, Parson, tell me quickly,
G

will my soul pass through
G

the south wind?
Will my soul pass through the South Link
To my old Virginia green?
D
Will I see the hills of Georgia
G
and the green fields of Alabama?
Will I see that little church house
Em
D
where I pledge my heart and hand?
Oh, Parson, tell me quickly
Will my soul pass through
G

the Southland?
G
Was for lovin', dear old Dixie,
D
In this dreary cell I lie.
Was for lovin' dear old Dixie

In this northern state I've died
Will you see my little daughter
D
Will you make her understand
Oh, Parson, tell me quickly
Will my soul pass through
G

the Southland?
With his soul pure as a lily
In his body sanctified

In that dreary Yankee prison,

the brave rebel soldier died.
Then the parson looked up to heaven

and in blessing raised his hand.
Father, grant this soldier's wishes
May his soul pass through
