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

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

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