Just before the battle, Mother
I am thinking most of you
While upon the fields we're watching
With the enemy in view
Comrades, brave round me lying
Filled with thoughts of home and God
For well they know that on the morrow
Some will sleep beneath the sod
Farewell, Mother, you may never
Press me to your breast again
But, oh, you'll not forget me, Mother
If I'm numbered with the slain
Hark, I hear the bugels 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 up on the air
Oh, yes, we'll rally 'round the standard
Or we'll perish nobly there
Farewell, Mother, you may never
Press me to your breast again
But, oh, you'll not forget me, Mother
If I'm numbered with the slain
I am thinking most of you
While upon the fields we're watching
With the enemy in view
Comrades, brave round me lying
Filled with thoughts of home and God
For well they know that on the morrow
Some will sleep beneath the sod
Farewell, Mother, you may never
Press me to your breast again
But, oh, you'll not forget me, Mother
If I'm numbered with the slain
Hark, I hear the bugels 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 up on the air
Oh, yes, we'll rally 'round the standard
Or we'll perish nobly there
Farewell, Mother, you may never
Press me to your breast again
But, oh, you'll not forget me, Mother
If I'm numbered with the slain
