A Soldiers Song © Copyright 2007 Marcus G. Poirier I’m gone down the river to sign up boys Don’t you follow me I don’t want to fight But I ain’t got no choice My country tis of thee Well hurrah for the red, white and blue And for these boys who would die for you And if I should die have my friends carry me Down to the riverside And bury me with all of my folks And in peace I will lie The things I’ve seen I cannot right More than a man should ever know And as long as I live Oh I won’t forget The ones that I laid low Well hurrah for the red, white and blue And for these boys who have died for you And if I should die have my friends carry me Down to the riverside And bury me with all of my folks And in peace I will lie I’m comin home But now I’m a man War weary and wise I lost my soul on the battlefield boys You can see it in my eyes Well hurrah for the red, white and blue And for these boys who will die for you And if I should die have my friends carry me Down to the riverside And bury me with all of my folks And in peace I will lie
