歌词
[Verse 1]
Heart-carved tree trunk, Yankee bayonet
A sweetheart left behind
Far from the hills on the sea-swelled Carolinas
That's where my true love lies
[Verse 2]
Ha, ha, ha, ha ah, ha, ha, ha-oh ha-oh
Ha, ha, ha, ha-oh ah
[Verse 3]
Look for me when the sun bright swallow
Sings upon the birch bough high
But you are in the ground with the wolves and the weevils
All a'chew on your bones, so dry
[Verse 4]
Ha, ha, ha, ha ah, ha, ha, ha-oh ha-oh
Ha, ha, ha, ha-oh ah
[Verse 5]
But when the sun breaks
To no more bullets in Battle Creek
Then will you make a grave?
For I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then, then
[Verse 6]
When I was a girl, how the hills of Oconee
Made a seam to hem me in
There at the fair, when our eyes caught careless
Got my heart right pierced by a pin
[Verse 7]
Ha, ha, ha, ha ah, ha, ha, ha-oh ha-oh
Ha, ha, ha, ha-oh ah
[Verse 8]
But, oh, did you see all the dead of Manassas?
All the bellies and the bones and the bile
No, I lingered here with the blankets barren
And my own belly big with child
[Verse 9]
Ha, ha, ha, ha ah, ha, ha, ha-oh ha-oh
Ha, ha, ha, ha-oh ah
Ha, ha, ha, ha ah, ha, ha, ha-oh ha-oh
Ha, ha, ha, ha-oh ah
[Verse 10]
But when the sun breaks
To no more bullets in Battle Creek
Then will you make a grave?
For I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
[Verse 11]
Stems and bones and stone walls too
Keep me from you
This skein of skin is all too few
To keep me from you
[Verse 12]
But, oh, my love though our bodies may be parted
Though our skin may not touch skin
Look for me with the sun bright sparrow
I will come on the breath of the wind
[Verse 13]
Ha, ha, ha, ha ah, ha, ha, ha-oh ha-oh
Ha, ha, ha, ha-oh ah
Ha, ha, ha, ha ah, ha, ha, ha-oh ha-oh
Ha, ha, ha, ha-oh ah
