last monday in may - ward davis lyrics

Loading...

i took a musket ball in chancellorsville
i went down and i lie here still
underneath a cross of stone
the world has turned and time’s moved on
there are seasons when it seems
that everyones forgotten me

’til the last monday in may
when all the spring time flowers bloom
they came and decorate my grave
but only bones lie here entombed
my spirit flies as high as old glory waves
on the last monday in may

i fought on a distant sh0r-
in the war to end all wars
world war one turn into two
argonne into bellevue
it’s hard to rest so far from home
but one day a year i’m not alone

the last monday in may
when all the spring time flowers bloom
they came and decorate my grave
but only bones lie here entombed
my spirit flies as high as old glory waves
on the last monday in may

from the jungles of vietnam
to the mountains of afghanistan
and whatever wars are left to be
we’ll fight to keep
our country free
chopper went down in iraq
one more week and i’d have made it back
now my war and battle’s done
i rest in peace in arlington
my wife is here most days with me
won’t you come and keep us company?

the last monday in may
when all the spring time flowers bloom
please help her decorate my grave
but only bones lie here entombed
my spirit flies as high as old glory waves
remember all of us and the sacrifice we made
on the last monday in may
the last monday in may
