Weep no more boys- something something
There is peace where there once was war.
You've got a damned good memory - I'd forgotten that there were any words to it. Contributors to
Mudcat came up with this;
THE BATTLE’S O’ER
I returned to the hills of glory
Where the green grass and flowers grow,
And the wind softly sings a story
Of the brave lads of long ago.
CHORUS: March no more, my soldier laddie.
There is peace where there once was war.
Sleep in peace, my soldier laddie.
Sleep in peace now the battle’s o’er.
In the great glen they lie a-sleeping
Where the cool waters gently flow,
And the gray mist is sadly weeping
For the great lads of long ago. (CHORUS)
See the tall grasses that are waving
As their banners did long ago
With their heads high above the graving,
Marching likely to meet their foe. (CHORUS)
Some return from the fields of glory
To their loved ones who held them dear,
But some fell in their hour of glory
And were left to their rest to be. (CHORUS)
