Bluegrass Songs - A white cross marks the grave

A white cross marks the grave

Many thousand miles away in that land across the sea
There are soldier boys, their precious lives they give
So their loved ones here back home, many miles across the foam
Might have liverty each padding day to live

    May they sleep forevermore
    Where a white cross stands to mark the soldiers grave
    May their spirits be at rest
    They have done their part with hearts so true and brave

May the ones who have gone on be remembered here back home
In the hears of those whom they will see no more
They will wait until that day when they hear the trumpet play
Then they'll march again upon that golden shore

 * Refrain
