Thread Name: Lyr Req: Weeping Sad and Lonely
Subject: RE: Weeping Sad and Lonely
The lyrics for "Weeping, Sad and Lonely" are already in the DigiTrad under the title "When This Cruel War Is Over". Sinsull's version appears to have gotten munged a bit. There should be four eight-line verses followed by the four-line chorus "Weeping, sad and lonely [...] Praying that we meet again." Sinsull's version also swaps verses 2 and 3. The verses in order should be:

1. Dearest love, do you remember...
2. When the summer breeze is sighing...
3. If, amid the din of battle...
4. But our country called you, darling...

Written in 1863. Words by Charles Carroll Sawyer, music by Henry Tucker.
