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