An I low I doan spose I evah will—Er de trampin ob de feet to de drumswild beat,Er de blowin ob de bugle on de hill.Hit minds me ob de day when Gabemarched awayAn ole missus stood beside de cabin do;Sumpin whispahed in my eah bout mylittle volunteah,An sade he nevah will come back nomo. Is thinkin mos to-day ob how he marchedaway,Wid de bright sun a-climbin up de sky;Marched out an down the street to dedrums wild beat,An den how dey fotched im home todie. Oh, de sad, moanful way missus bowed herhead to pray,When Gabe said, Hits gittin mightystill, But Ill rise an? jine de boys when I heahde cannons noise,Er de soun ob de bugle on de hill! Dars a spot mighty deah to dis ole darkyheah,Whar de sunshine am peekin trough depalms.Wid his hands pon his breast dar my sol-diers gone to rest,Jest peacefully a-sleepin in de calms;An de drums wild beat er de tread ob marchin feetI know caint disturb im now untilDe Lod gibs command, den I know hellrise an stanAt de blowin ob de bugle on de hill.
