Now the Dfog and smoke is lifting
From the Dfallen row on Arow
In D1861 the prayed for DGod to keep their Asouls
JDimmy left home in April
That was one Dyear to the Aday
WDrites his mother back home in Brighton
But he Dain't got much to Asay
He's forgGotten what his town Dlooks like
The Asmell of Gdeath is all Aaround D A
He dGreams of the blue AtDlantic
To Aonce aDgain be hoGmewaDrd bAound
Homeward Dbound
Though the Droad was long and winding
AMany Dsnares lay Gin Dtheir Apath
But Dtheir struggle they saw as righteous
AThe fought with Dmight and Gstuck Dwith Awrath
Now the bGattle hymns are pDlaying
RAeport of Gshots not far Aways D A
No Gprayer, no promise, no Dhand of AGod
Could save their Dsouls that GAprDil Aday
Tell their Dwives that they fought bravely
AAs they Dlay them Gin Dtheir Agraves
As the Dtrain pulled in the station
AAnd the Dfamilies gathered 'Around
You could Dhear the first car echo
AWith a Dloud tGriumpDhant Asound
But the Dlast car it was silent
AThey listened Dclose but they couldn't Ahear
It was Dladen down with coffins
AThat didn't Dspeak and GcouldDn't Acheer
As the Dtrain pulled in the station
And the fAamilies gathered 'rDouAnd
Bm9You could hear the first car echo
With a lAoud triumphant soDunAd
Now the Gbattle hymns are pDlaying
RAeport of sGhots not Afar awayD A
No Gprayer, no promise, no Dhand of AGod
Could save theirs Dsouls that AGpriDl dAay
Now the Gbattle hymns are pDlaying
RAeport of Gshots not far Aaway D A
No Gprayer, no promise, no Dhand of GAod
Could save the Dsouls of the Gblue aDnd gArey
Tell their Dwives that they fought bravely
AAs they Dlay them iGn tDheir gAraves
