Just Before the Battle, Mother - Ernest Pike[00:00:00]
Just before the battle mother[00:00:12]
I am thinking most of you[00:00:18]
While upon the fields we're watching[00:00:24]
With the enemy in view[00:00:30]
Comrades brave are round me lying[00:00:37]
Filled with thoughts of home and dear[00:00:44]
For well they know that on the morrow[00:00:49]
For they know again with dear[00:00:57]
Farewell mother you may never[00:01:04]
Press me to your heart again[00:01:11]
But oh you'll not forget me mother[00:01:17]
If I'm numbered with the slain[00:01:25]
Hark I hear the bugels sounding[00:01:43]
'Tis the signal for the fight[00:01:50]
Now may God protect us mother[00:01:56]
As he ever does the right[00:02:02]
Hear the battle cry of freedom[00:02:08]
How it swells up in the air[00:02:15]
Oh yes we'll rally round the standard[00:02:21]
Or we'll perish nobly there[00:02:28]
Farewell mother you may never[00:02:36]
Press me to your heart again[00:02:42]
But oh you'll not forget me mother[00:02:48]
If I'm numbered with the slain[00:02:56]
