Lyrics:Batt Music:Batt | |
The smoke was slowly rising as the light began to fade | |
There were fires on the skyline from some distant border raid | |
I was riding out at seventeen to join my first brigade | |
Many years ago | |
And I chanced upon a farmhouse where the woman took me in | |
She gave me food and wine she gave me shelter from the wind | |
She delayed me from my regiment and service of my king | |
Many years ago | |
She said 'Soldier before I lose you to the fight | |
Oh my soldier I'll make a man of you tonight' | |
She took me over in the fading fireglow | |
On that wild and misty night she was my woman | |
When I rose next morning I was gone before she stood | |
Tore myself away from there and left without a word | |
The sound of distant infantry was the only sound I heard | |
On that morning | |
And in that day I aged ten years and died a thousand deaths | |
I learned the feel of frozen steel and fear within my breast | |
But the lesson I'll remember till they lay me to my rest | |
Keeps returning | |
chorus | |
And when the dice of war were thrown and victory was won | |
My drunken young compatriots went out to have their fun | |
And there was no single house they didn't burn or overrun on that evening | |
And I rode out to that place again as hard as I could ride | |
But I found her by the cradle on that lonely mountainside | |
In the hands of those brave friends of mine she suffered and she died | |
Many years ago | |
'Soldier before I lose you to the fight' | |
She said 'Soldier I'll make a man of you tonight' | |
She took me over in the fading fireglow | |
On that wild and misty night she was my woman |
