Thread Name: Lyr Req: Two Soldiers
Subject: Two Soldiers (Hazel and Alice, Rounder)
I would like the words to this ballad sung by Hazel and Alice on Rounder records. I believe it is either a rev- olutionary or civil war song.It starts something like this:

He was just a blue eyed Boston boy,
His eyes were filled with pain.
I'll do your bidding comrade mine,
If I ride back again.
But if you ride back and I am gone
You'll do as much for me.
My mother at home must hear the news,
So write to her tenderly.
She's waiting at home like a wedding Saint,
her fond eyes filled with woe.
Her heart will be broken when I am gone,
I'll see her soon I know.

There's alot more to the song and I would like to get all the words and any other information about it.
