Introduction:
G
In the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low
G
From a soldier who'd been wounded in the fray
G
"I am dying, Captin, dying and I pray before I go
D7 G
You will give your promise ere I pass away"
C
Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say
G C
When duty calls me to a foreign plain
G
I hope your heart will not be crying if I'm numbered 'mong the dying
7
C G
Yes when the roses bloom again beside the River
G
And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet refrain
C
As in days of Old Lang Syne I'll be with you sweetheart mine
D7 G
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
Do not ask me dear to linger for I know not what to say
