He promised me he'd write to me, he kept his promise true, The last I ever heard from him: i'll soon be home to you. When the war was over and the boys they all came heme, They never brought by sweetheart and now I'm left alone.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
