Blue-eyed Boston Boy Lyrics by Misty River

Willow

0

HE WAS JUST A BLUE-EYED BOSTON BOY, HIS VOICE WAS LOW WITH PAIN
I?LL DO YOUR BIDDING, COMRADE MINE, IF I RIDE BACK AGAIN
BUT IF YOU RIDE BACK WHEN I AM DEAD YOU?LL DO AS MUCH FOR ME?
MY MOTHER YOU KNOW MUST HEAR THE NEWS SO WRITE TO HER TENDERLY
SHE?S WAITING AT HOME LIKE A PATIENT SAINT, HER FINE FACE PALE WITH WOE
HER HEART WILL BE BROKEN WHEN I AM GONE, I?LL SEE HER SOON I KNOW
JUST THEN THE ORDER CAME TO CHARGE FOR AN INSTANT HAND TOUCHED HAND
THEY ANSWERED ?AYE? THEN ON THEY RODE THAT BRAVE AND DEVOTED BAND
SOLO: VERSE
STRAIGHT WAY WAS THE COURSE TO THE TOP OF THE HILL, THE REBELS THEY SHOT & SHELLED
PLOWED FURROWS OF DEATH IN THE TOILING RANKS AND GUARDED TEHM AS THEY FELL
THERE SOON WAS A TERRIBLE DYING YELL, FROM THE HEIGHTS THEY COULD NOT GAIN
AND THOSE WHO DOOM AND DEATH HAD SPARED RODE SLOWLY BACK AGAIN
SOLO: VERSE & CHORUS
BUT AMONG THE DEAD WHO WERE LEFT ON THE FIELD ?
WAS THE BOY WITH THE CURLY HAIR
AND THE TALL DARK MAN WHO FOUGHT BY HIS SIDE?
LAY DEAD BESIDE HIM THERE
THERE WAS NONE TO WRITE TO THE BLUE-EYED GIRL THE WORDS HER LOVER HAD SAID
WHILE MOTHER AT HOME IS AWAITING HER BOY SHE?LL ONLY KNOW HE?S DEAD
WHILE MOTHER AT HOME IS AWAITING HER BOY SHE?LL ONLY KNOW?.HE?S DEAD
