The Nation Disintegrates
Just Before the Battle MotherMusic and Words by GEORGE F. ROOT
Just before the battle, mother,I am thinking most of you,While upon the field we're watching,With the enemy in view. Comrades brave are 'round me lying,Fill'd with thoughts of home and God;For well they know that on the morrow,Some will sleep beneath the sod.
Chorus:Farewell, mother, you may neverPress me to your heart again,But, oh, you'll not forget me mother,If I'm number'd with the slain.Hark! I hear the bugles sounding,'Tis the signal for the fight,Now, may God protect us, Mother,As he ever does the right.Hear the "Battle Cry of Freedom,"How it swells upon the air,Oh, yes, we'll rally 'round the standard,Or we'll perish nobly there.
