Last Letter Home Songtext
von The Gibson Brothers

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

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


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

Throuts day I watch'd those southern boys go down
And they lay like Georgiapeaches briisd and broken on the ground
Through the night I wonder′d was it wörth the pain
And I cried not revenge I call′d your name

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 will run all the way just to meet you there
Just to meet you there
