[00:00:00] Was My Brother In The Battle (Album Version) - Kate & Anna McGarrigle

[00:00:01] Written by：S.C. Foster

[00:00:10] Tell me tell me weary soldier from the rude and stirring wars

[00:00:17] Was my brother in the battle where you gained those noble scars

[00:00:27] He was ever brave and valiant

[00:00:31] And I know he never fled

[00:00:34] Was his name among the wounded or numbered with the dead

[00:00:43] Was my brother in the battle when the tide of war ran high

[00:00:50] You would know him in a more by his dark and flashing eye

[00:01:00] Tell me tell me weary soldier

[00:01:03] Will he never come again

[00:01:07] Did he suffer with the wounded or die among the slain

[00:01:16] Was my brother in the battle when the noble highland host

[00:01:23] Were so wrongly out numbered on the Carolina coast

[00:01:32] Did he struggle for the Union with the thunder and the rain

[00:01:39] 'Til he fell among the brave on a bleak Virginia plain

[00:01:48] Oh I'm sure that he was dauntless and his courage never lag

[00:01:55] While contending for the honour of our dear and cherished flag

[00:02:04] Tell me tell me weary soldier

[00:02:08] Will he never come again

[00:02:12] Did he suffer with the wounded or die among the slain

[00:02:21] Was my brother in the battle when the flag of Erin came

[00:02:28] To the rescue of our banner and protection of our fame

[00:02:37] While the fleet from off the waters poured out terror and dismay

[00:02:44] 'Til the bold and erring foe fell like leaves on an Autumn day

[00:02:54] When the bugle called to battle and the cannon deeply roared

[00:03:01] Oh I wish I could have seen him draw his sharp and glittering sword

[00:03:10] Tell me tell me weary soldier

[00:03:14] Will he never come again

[00:03:17] Did he suffer with the wounded or die among the slain
