roger welsch - just before the battle, mother lyrics
[verse 1]
just before the battle, mother
i am thinking most of you
while upon the field we’re watching
with the enemy in view
comrades brave are round rr,e lying
filled with thoughts of home and god;
for well they know that on the morrow
some will sleep beneath the sod
[chorus]
farewell, mother, you may never
press me to your heart a gain;
but, oh, you’ll not for get me, mother
if i am numbered ‘mong the slain
[verse 2]
oh, i long to see you, mother
and thе loving ones at home
but, no, i’ll nevеr leave our banner
till in honor i can come
tell the traitors all around you
that their cruel words we know
in every battle k!ll our soldiers
by the help they give the foe
[chorus]
farewell, mother, you may never
press me to your heart a gain;
but, oh, you’ll not for get me, mother
if i am numbered ‘mong the slain
[verse 2]
hark! i hear the bugles sounding
“’tis the signal for the fight. ”
now may god protect us, mother
as he ever does the right
[verse 3]
hear the “battle cry of freedom”+
how it swells upon the air!
oh, yes, we’ll rally round the standard
or we’ll perish n0bly there
[chorus]
farewell, mother, you may never
press me to your heart a gain;
but, oh, you’ll not for get me, mother
if i am numbered ‘mong the slain
