stephen foster – willie has gone to the war lyrics
(verse 1)
the bluebird is singing his lay
to all the sweet flowers of the dale
the wild bee is roaming at play
and soft is the sigh of the gale
i stray by the brookside alone
where oft we have wandered before
and weep for my loved one, my own
my willie has gone to the war
(chorus)
willie has gone to the war
willie, willie, my loved one, my own
willie has gone to the war
willie, my loved one, has gone
(verse 2)
’twas here, where the lily bells grow
i last saw his n-ble young face
and now while he’s gone to the foe
oh, dearly i love the old place
the whispering waters repeat
the name that i love o’er and o’er
and daisies that nod at my feet
say willie has gone to the war
(chorus)
willie has gone to the war
willie, willie, my loved one, my own
willie has gone to the war
willie, my loved one, has gone
(verse 3)
the leaves of the forest will fade
the roses will wither and die
but spring to our home in the glade
on fairylike pinions will fly
and still i will hopefully wait
the day when these battles are o’er
and pine like a bird for its mate
till willie comes home from the war
(chorus)
willie has gone to the war
willie, willie, my loved one, my own
willie has gone to the war
willie, my loved one, has gone
