Soldiers Lullaby
(adaptation of Woodie Guthrie's "Hobo's Lullaby" his tune)
Go to sleep you weary soldier, let the footsteps walk on by
Can't you here the bugles blowin', thats a Soldier's lullaby
*
I know our lands are torn and fighting, and you've sacrificed your life
Close your eyes and smile upon us, guide us through our worldly strife
Go to sleep you weary soldier, let the footsteps walk on by
Can't you here the bugles blowin', thats a Soldier's lullaby
*
Now don't you worry about your daughters, they'll blossom lightly in your way
And shine for us in 'comin' beauty, the sun is rising every day
Go to sleep you weary soldier, let the footsteps walk on by
Can't you here the bugles blowin', thats a Soldier's lullaby
*
I know the hardships that you've weathered, and you drifted in the breeze
When we join you up in heaven, your peace will give us all our needs
Go to sleep you weary soldier, let the footsteps walk on by
Can't you here the bugles blowin', that's a Soldier's lullaby
