Dying Soldier - The Carter Family
France's sun was slowly sinking o'er
The hilltops far away

The land was in its beauty
Where the dying soldier lay

Tears were streaming down his face
As he slowly raised his head
And these were the dying words he said

Oh carry me back to old Tennessee

Let this be my last repose

Lay my feet beneath the lilacs

Lay my head beneath the rose

Take this message to my mother for
I know she's old and gray

At home I know she's waiting
Looking for her boy some day

Oh dear mother I pulled through for
My country and for you

And I'm dying for the red white and blue

Oh carry me back to old Tennessee

Let this be my last repose

Lay my feet beneath the lilacs

Lay my head beneath the rose

O'er the hills of Tennessee

Where the wild winds wander free

The little girl waiting there for me

Tell her that the rose she gave me
Will be placed upon my grave

In memory of her soldier brave

Oh carry me back to old Tennessee

Let this be my last repose

Lay my feet beneath the lilacs
Lay my head beneath the rose
