《The Dying Soldier》歌词

[00:00:00] The Dying Soldier - The Carter Family (卡特家族)/Henry Whitter/Clayton McMichen

[00:00:11] France's sun was slowly sinking over the hilltops far away

[00:00:17] The land was in it's beauty where the dying soldier lay

[00:00:24] Tears were streaming down his face as he slowly raised his head

[00:00:29] And these were the dying words he said

[00:00:34] Oh carry me back to old Tennessee

[00:00:39] Let this be my last repose

[00:00:44] Lay my feet beneath the lilacs

[00:00:49] Lay my head beneath the rose

[00:01:17] Take this message to my mother for I know she's old and gray

[00:01:22] At home I know she's waiting looking for her boy some day

[00:01:28] Oh dear mother I pulled through for my country and for you

[00:01:34] And I'm dying for the red white and blue

[00:01:39] Oh carry me back to old Tennessee

[00:01:44] Let this be my last repose

[00:01:49] Lay my feet beneath the lilacs

[00:01:54] Lay my head beneath the rose

[00:02:21] Over the hills of Tennessee where the wild winds wander free

[00:02:27] The little girl waiting there for me

[00:02:32] Tell her that the rose she gave me will be placed upon my grave

[00:02:37] In memory of her soldier brave

[00:02:42] Oh carry me back to old Tennessee

[00:02:47] Let this be my last repose

[00:02:52] Lay my feet beneath the lilacs

[00:02:56] Lay my head beneath the rose
