[Verse 1]
B E A
He was just a blue-eyed Boston boy
E
His voice was low with pain.
B E A
I'll do your bidding comrade mine,
E
If I ride back again.
B E
But if you ride back and I am left
B
You'll do as much for me.
B E A
Mother you know, must hear the news
E
So write to her tenderly.

B E A
She's waiting at home like a patient saint
E
Her fond face pale with woe.
B E A
Her heart will be broken when I am gone
E
I'll see her soon, I know
B E
Just then the order came to charge
B
For an instant hand touched hand
B E A
They said "Aye" and away they rode
E
That brave and devoted band.

[Verse 3]
B E A
Straight was the track to the top of the hill
E
The rebels they shot and shelled.
B E A
Plowed furrows of death through the toilling ranks
E
And guarded them as they fell
B E
There soon came a horrible dying yell
B
From heights that they could not gain
B E A
And those that doom and death had spared
E
Rode slowly back again.
[Break]
B E A E
[Verse 4]
B E A
But among the dead that were left on the hill
E
Was the boy with the curly hair
B E A
The tall dark man that rode by his side
E
Lay dead beside him there
B E
There's no one to write to the blue-eyed girl
B
The words that her lover had said
B E A
Momma, you know, awaits the news
E
And she'll only know he's dead.
