  87 He was just a blue-eyed boston boy
  88 His voice was low in pain
  89 &quot;I'll do your biddin', comrade mine,
  90 If I ride back again
  91 But if you ride back and I am left
  92 You'll do as much for me
  93 Mother, you know, must hear the news,
  94 so write to her tenderly.&quot;
  95
  96 She's waiting at home like a patient saint,
  97 Her fond face pale with woe
  98 Her heart would be broken when I am gone
  99 I'll see her soon, I know.
 100 Just then the order came to charge
 101 For an instance, hand touched hand
 102 They said, &quot;Aye!&quot; and away they rode,
 103 That brave and devoted band.
 104
 105 Straight was the track to the top of the hill
 106 the rebels, they shot and shelled
 107 Plowed furrows of death through the toiling ranks,
 108 And guarded them as they fell
 109 There soon came a horrible, dying yell
 110 From heights that they could not gain
 111 And those whom doom and death had spared
 112 Rode slowly down again
 113
 114 But among the dead that were left on the hill
 115 was the boy with the curly hair
 116 The tall dark man who rode by his side
 117 Lay dead beside him there
 118 There's no-one to write to the blue-eyed girl
 119 The words that her lover had said.
 120 Mama, you know, awaits the news,
 121 And she'll only know he's dead.
