Your Little Band of Gold - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
On the raging field of battle[00:00:08]
In a dugout dark and cold[00:00:13]
Lies a soldier boy in tears and wracked with pain[00:00:17]
We gathered close beside him[00:00:25]
As our Captain said a prayer[00:00:29]
We knew his chance to live was all in vain[00:00:33]
He opened up his big blue eyes[00:00:42]
Ans smiled thro' flowing tears[00:00:46]
These last few words then to our Captain told[00:00:50]
In this pocket by my heart[00:00:58]
Sir is a message send it please[00:01:01]
And with it send this little band of gold[00:01:06]
I promised you sweetheart someday I'd meet you[00:01:14]
I'd meet you[00:01:20]
Your tender form close to my heart I'd fold[00:01:22]
I'd fold[00:01:28]
But I'll never keep that promise[00:01:31]
I have trod the last long mile[00:01:35]
But I'm sending you your little band of gold[00:01:39]
We laid him down in silence[00:01:47]
T'was so hard to leave him there[00:01:51]
Our hearts were heavy as we walked away[00:01:55]
But we know tonight in Heaven[00:02:03]
There's another soldier boy[00:02:07]
Who'll be marked a hero on that Judgement Day[00:02:11]
We wrote his dear old mother[00:02:20]
Sent his love to folks back home[00:02:24]
And told her God had called him to the Fold[00:02:28]
And the message to his darling[00:02:36]
We so carefully mailed away[00:02:40]
With his picture and her little band of gold[00:02:44]
I promised you sweetheart someday I'd meet you[00:02:53]
Your tender form close to my heart I'd fold[00:03:01]
But I'll never keep that promise[00:03:09]
I have trod the last long mile[00:03:13]
But I'm sending you your little band of gold[00:03:17]
