stimpy@eartling.net Lyr Req: Two Soldiers / Last Fierce Charge (5) Words to Civil War song 27 Sep 97


My sisters and I are looking for the complete version of a song that our grandmother sang to us many years ago. She always called it "The Soldier's Song." Below are the only lyrics that we can recall.

Just before the last fierce charge
Two soldiers drew their reign
With a parting word and a touch of the hand
Ere they might not meet again

One had blue eyes and curly hair
Nineteen but a month ago
Red rosy cheeks and a dimpled chin
He was only a boy, you know

The other was tall, dark, daring and brave
His faith in this world was dim
But all the more, he trusted one
She was all the world to him

--------???
???????
The tall dark man was the first to speak
Saying “Charlie, my time has come

“We’ll ride together into this fight
But you’ll ride out alone
So promise a little more trouble to take
For me when I am gone
