Martha's Song
-------------------
Come on home to me my
confederate sons
sleep in peace, lay to rest
for your journey is done
and what I wouldn't give just
to see you at play
in the grasses and fields where
now you must lay
come home to me my
confederate sons
you will not die in vain for battles
not won
and what I wouldn't give just to
rock you once more
in this chair that I sit in
like my mother before
so I come home to you my
confederate sons
the waiting is over and now
we'll be one
but what I wouldn't give just
to be there today
in the fields of Carolina where
now we must lay.
