Standard (EADGBE)
All the lilies were laid on the marble
in the field where the ancestors lay,
And the forest was dark and primeval
but the boughs seemed to cradle as they swayed,
And the church choir sang hallelujah,
and the vernal breeze whispered a sigh,
Watch the brethren all stand,
praise their God, raise your hand,
Tow the bell for the Rebel's goodbye x2
Bridge
In the dark heathen barracks of failure
where the tormenters wait for the night,
And the sheltering sky
hears their lost, tattered cries,
Tow the bell for the Rebel's goodbye x2
Cheers!
