The Willis Clan - My Soldier lyrics

I think of my soldier gone to the war Encamped on the banks of a dark foreign shore He dares not to sleep there for fear of his life Twas only a fortnight he made me his wife I bade him adieu with a hope and concern He said I would see him upon his return So full of devotion and bright valiant youth I pray every moment his words be the truth I think of our future Fragile and free And long for the day when Together we’ll be I think of my soldier far from his home The green rolling hills where he often did roam The sweet winding rivers and valleys beside Replaced by the fields where his friends bled and died I think of their sacrifice Paid with their lives To know that their loved one Somewhere survives I think of my soldier gone to the war Encamped on the banks of a dark foreign shore I watch o’er the ocean both early and late It won’t be much longer have that we’ll have to wait No, it won’t be much longer have that we’ll have to wait
