Last Letter Home - Amazing Rhythm Aces

I have heard the cannons thundering all night

And I cannot sleep for wondering why’s a rebel’s cause so right

And the morphine seems to do no good at all

And I would run away it I would not fall

I joined the southern cavalry for fun

And I had rode a thousand horses

Always had a way with a gun

Now I’m among the horseless riders lying still

Swallowed up by the cause on the widows hill

And I dreamed about a rose in a Spanish garden

And I kissed you and I placed it in your hair

And if I’m ever on my feet again I will

And I will run all the way just to meet you there

Through the day I watched those southern boys go down

And they lay like Georgia peaches bruised and broken on the ground

Through the night I wondered was it worth the pain

And I cried not revenge I called your name

Now I’m among the horseless riders lying still

Swallowed up by the cause on the widows hill

And I dreamed about a rose in a Spanish garden

And I kissed you and I placed it in your hair

And if I’m ever on my feet again I will

And I will run all the way just to meet you there
