Take the News to Mother (Remaster) - The Louvin Brothers[00:00:00]
Written by:Walter Joe Callahan/Homer Bill Callahan/W. R. Caloway[00:00:00]
While the shot and shells were scattering[00:00:06]
All o'er the battlefield[00:00:11]
While the boys in france were fighting[00:00:17]
To save their noble flag[00:00:22]
Save their flag or give their lives[00:00:33]
All for their country and home[00:00:39]
They brought him back and heard him say[00:00:44]
I can no longer stay[00:00:51]
Go take the news to mother[00:00:56]
For she knows how well I love her[00:01:02]
Kiss her dear sweet lips for me[00:01:07]
Tell her I'm not coming home[00:01:13]
Oh tell my darling sweetheart[00:01:24]
That her lips I'll kiss no more[00:01:29]
For this battlefield is awful[00:01:35]
I'm sure I'll see her no more[00:01:40]
Now I'd love to see my mother[00:01:46]
Kneeling by the old hearth stone[00:01:51]
But I'm in this hell right here on earth[00:01:57]
And her prayer I'll hear no more[00:02:03]
Go take the news to mother[00:02:14]
For she knows how well I love her[00:02:20]
Kiss her dear sweet lips for me[00:02:25]
Mmmm mmmm mmmmmm[00:02:31]
Tell her I'm not coming home[00:02:36]
