Not another foot was stirring on the floor of the house
C A# F
except for my 'pa who'd been up for a while
F A# F
Seems he's headin' on after the bad word that came,
C A# F
of his brothers who marched but were left down all slain
C
Please call out the cavalry
A# F
Send them along
C
For we need our daddy,
A# F
and so does this farm

Mama stays awake to pray,
F
in a lonely straw bed
C
and we rise before the sun
A# F
with the work that he left
F A# F
F A# F
He took what mama made him to feed him on his way
C A# F
he kissed all my brothers, my sisters, and me
F A# F
he held my poor mama, looked down and said, "Son,
C A# F
I'll be home soon, now hand me my coat and my gun."

F A# F
It's been some days without him, but we've toiled away
C A# F
hang onto the cattle and the crops that we've laid
F A# F
mama sits by the window and stares until dark
C A# F
and rocks by the fire and cries out her heart

Send my man home

F A# F
been about a year since my daddy had gone
C A# F
when I saw an old carriage, and a coat I'd once known
F A# F
it was draped o'er a man who once stood proud and tall
C A# F
now broken and battered and missing an arm
F A# F
he cried when he saw us, and the words they came slow
C A# F
of the sunrise he found and the hell that he'd known
F A# F
he asked for forgiveness for failing us all
C A# F
his duty cut short, in the battle he lost
C A# F
We said, "don't mind that daddy, for now you are home,
C A# F
now mama cries for joy, and she won't sleep alone.
A# F
You've sons and you've daughters, now please use our arms."
C A# F
Now rise before the sun, for the work to be done.
