Blood All On The Grass Lyrics

There’s a thunder on the wind my friend Today this tale begun You here the shouts of fightin‘ men And the beatin‘ of the drum We hear a prayer on every breath Oh lord, let this all pass There’re shadows on the far hillside There’s blood all on the grass The battle shouts are slient now In the mud these young men lie The name of their own dear sweetheart Their last breath as they die The pike, the sword, the musket all Performed the deadly task A lark sings in the clear blue sky There’s blood all on the grass There’s mist all on the quiet field Where the fox and rabbit run The glowing sky is growing red With the setting of the sun And the blood-red river’s running by Neath the bridge as it does pass With the lives and the loves of all young men There’s blood all on the grass
