Mama Take Me Home

Mama take me away from blood
kiss my cheek as mammas should, give 
my breath to those who died, wash my 
tongue for times I lied

Sooth the souls of comrades dead, into
battle bravely led, take my hand and lift 
me free, let me walk neath apple tree

Please tell Papa that I tried, needn’t tell
him that I cried, and when you drive the 
cows to home,  remember mama, 
I’m not alone
