[Verse 1]
Pray for me, my darling
That peace might come to pass
The devil finally laid to rest
The carnage done at last
We may have left at seventeen
Before boys are men
But the ladies, they will all turn out
When we come home again
[Verse 2]
We were locked in hell in Andersonville
In shebangs hot and stinking
The stream we use as our latrine
Gives water for our drinking
And a hundred of us daily die
To fill those fresh-dug graves
Ah, but the ladies they will all turn out
When we come home again
[Verse 3]
Rumors spawn and rumors die
On the rocks of the Georgia sun
And hope is just a luxury
You learn not to count on
Oh Hannah, may you never see
The sights that I have seen
Nor the ladies who will all turn out
If we come home again
Pray for me, my darling
That peace might come to pass
The devil finally laid to rest
The carnage done at last
We may have left at seventeen
Before boys are men
But the ladies, they will all turn out
When we come home again
[Verse 2]
We were locked in hell in Andersonville
In shebangs hot and stinking
The stream we use as our latrine
Gives water for our drinking
And a hundred of us daily die
To fill those fresh-dug graves
Ah, but the ladies they will all turn out
When we come home again
[Verse 3]
Rumors spawn and rumors die
On the rocks of the Georgia sun
And hope is just a luxury
You learn not to count on
Oh Hannah, may you never see
The sights that I have seen
Nor the ladies who will all turn out
If we come home again
