lirik lagu carter family - dying soldier
france’s sun was slowly sinking o’er the hilltops far away
the land was in its beauty where the dying soldier lay
tears were streaming down his face as he slowly raised his head
and these were the dying words he said
oh, carry me back to old tennessee
let this be my last repose
lay my feet beneath the lilacs
lay my head beneath the rose
(instrumental break)
take this message to my mother for i know she’s old and gray
at home i know she’s waiting, looking for her boy some day
oh, dear mother, i pulled through for my country and for you
and i’m dying for the red, white, and blue
oh, carry me back to old tennessee
let this be my last repose
lay my feet beneath the lilacs
lay my head beneath the rose
(instrumental break)
o’er the hills of tennessee where the wild winds wander free
the little girl waiting there for me
tell her that the rose she gave me will be placed upon my grave
in memory of her soldier brave
oh, carry me back to old tennessee
let this be my last repose
lay my feet beneath the lilacs
lay my head beneath the rose
