After the din of battle was o'er just at the close of day,

voicecollected by Brenda Jo Upton sung by Mrs. Montie Martin Jasper, Arkansas April 25, 1962 Reel 401 Item 15 JUST AS THE SUN WENT DOWN After the din of battle was o'er Just at the close of day, Wounded and bleeding upon the field Two dying soldiers lay. One thought of his mother at home alone, Feeble and old and grey. One of his sweetheart he left in town, Happy and young and gay, One held a ringlet of then grey heair, One held a lock of brown. Bidding each other a long fairwell Just as the sun went down. One kissed the ringlet of thin grey hair, One kissed the lock of brown. Bidding each other a long fairwell Just as the sun went down.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
