One of my favorite Civil War songs ran through by me at yesterday's voice lesson. :)

Battle Cry of Freedom: 1st Voice Lesson Runthrough

Cover of a folk song from 1863 written by John Fletcher.

Lyrics: 


In the sky the bright stars glittered
 On the grass the moonlight fell
 Hush’d the sound of daylight bustle
 Closed the pink eyed pimpernell
 As adown the moss grown wood path
 Where the cattle love to roam
 From an august evening party
 I was seeing Nelly home.

Chorus:
 In the sky the bright stars glittered
 On the grass the moonlight shone
 From an august evening party
 I was seeing Nelly home.

 

When the autumn tinged the greenwood
 Turning all its leaves to the gold
 In the lawn by elders shaded
 I my love to Nelly told
 As we stood together gazing
 On the star bespangled dome
 How I blessed the august evening
 When I saw sweet Nelly home.
Chorus:	

White hairs mingled with my tresses
 Furrows steal upon my brow
 But a love smile cheers and blesses
 Life’s declining moments now
 Matron in the snowy kerchief
 Closer to my bosom come
 Tell me do’st thou still remember
 When I saw sweet Nelly home.
Chorus:
