Contents
The sound of the drum -- All the boys well in camp -- Until we are prepared for it -- Less fear in each passing day -- The God of battles is on our side -- So it is when one of us dies -- Wound up in love as by a cloak -- I never before knew what soldiering war -- I belong to General Lee's Army -- Our Brigade was in it good -- Fought well and was complimented -- Fallen in love on somebody else's plantation -- Hard, hard to be a good man -- Still the will is half the man -- Washington would have been in our possession -- Never yet did I see fellows run as they did -- Upon the verge of time I stand -- I am tired of this fighting -- Tell Mother, if I fall -- Let us not mourn as those who have no hope -- We can still weather this storm -- Blow, Gabriel, blow -- Valor and devotion could accomplish nothing.
