I heard this song on a bluegrass program this A.M., done by a group called Blue Highway, and would like to get the lyrics. They're not in the Digitrad. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Here's their homepage (click) which contains about a one-minute RealAudio clip of it. Best I can do so far.

WALKED ALL THE WAY HOME


1) In the grim and final hour of the War between the States
He'd had enough dyin, all the grief that he could take
From the Appomattox Courthouse, where the deed was sadly done
There was no place left for him to go but home

Ch) He walked all the way home to Southampton County
To carry all he owned and try to forget
Wearing sadness like a mantle for the friends he lost in vain
He walked all the way home to start his life again

Chorus

2) In the end he knew the reasons but so many had been lost
For years to come the fallen would sleep beneath the cross
What he held in angry silence time could never burn away
It was just the saddest price he'd ever pay

Chorus

3) When he stopped to take some water at a little roadside place
A pretty southern widow sadly looked into his face
As they talked a while, his blue eyes seemed to ease her broken heart
One day he came back and took her home
