Last Letter Home Songtext
von Sam Bush

I have heard the cannons thundering in the night
And I cannot help but wondering why the rebel′s cause is right
And the morphine seems to do no good at all
And I would run all the way if I would not fall

And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden
And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair
If I'm ever on my feet again, I will
I will run all the way just to meet you there


I joined the Southern cavalry for fun
I have rode a thousand horses, always had a way with a gun
Now I′m among the horseless riders lying still
Swallowed up by the cause on the hero's hill

And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden
And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair
And if I'm ever on my feet again, I will
And I will run all the way just to meet you there

And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden
And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair
And if I′m ever on my feet again, I will
And I will run all the way just to meet you there
