[00:00.00]Take the News to Mother - The Callahan Brothers/Buddy Harman Jr.
[00:06.54]While the shot and shells were scattering
[00:12.56]All o'er the battlefield
[00:18.59]While the boys in France were fighting
[00:24.50]To save their noble flag
[00:30.06]
[00:36.59]Save their flag or give their lives
[00:41.70]
[00:42.33]All for their country and home
[00:48.21]They brought him back and heard him say
[00:53.97]
[00:54.64]I can no longer stay
[00:59.70]
[01:01.41]Go take the news to Mother
[01:06.85]For she knows how well I love her
[01:12.30]
[01:12.82]Kiss her dear sweet lips for me
[01:17.42]
[01:18.23]Tell her I'm not coming home
[01:22.86]
[01:25.38]Oh tell my darling sweetheart
[01:30.35]
[01:30.96]That her lips I'll kiss no more
[01:35.89]
[01:36.55]For this battlefield is awful
[01:41.36]
[01:42.01]I'm sure I'll see her no more
[01:47.22]
[01:49.13]Now I'd love to see my mother
[01:54.61]Kneeling by the old hearth stone
[02:00.16]But I'm in this hell right here on earth
[02:05.69]
[02:06.21]And her prayer I'll hear no more
[02:10.95]
[02:11.89]Go take the news to Mother
[02:16.57]
[02:17.32]For she knows how well I love her
[02:23.07]Kiss her dear sweet lips for me
[02:27.88]
[02:28.42]Go take the news to Mother
[02:33.18]
[02:33.84]Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmmm
