stephen foster - nothing but a plain old soldier lyrics

Loading...

(verse 1)
i’m nothing but a plain old soldier
an old revolutionary soldier
but i’ve handled a gun
where n-ble deeds were done
for the name of my commander was george washington

my home and my country to me were dear
and i fought for both when the foe came near
but now i will meet with a slight or sneer
for i’m nothing but a plain old soldier

(chorus)
i’m nothing but a plain old soldier
an old revolutionary soldier
but i’ve handled a gun
where n-ble deeds were done
for the name of my commander was george washington

(verse 2)
the friends i loved the best have departed
the days of my early joys have gone
and the voices once dear
and familiar to my ear
have faded from the scenes of the earth one by one

the tomb and the battle have laid them low
and they roam no more where the bright streams flow
i’m longing to join them and soon must go
for i’m nothing but a plain old soldier

(chorus)
i’m nothing but a plain old soldier
an old revolutionary soldier
but i’ve handled a gun
where n-ble deeds were done
for the name of my commander was george washington

(verse 3)
again the battle song is resounding
and who’ll bring the trouble to an end?
the union will pout
and secession ever shout
but none can tell us now which will yield or bend

you’ve had many generals from over the land
you’ve tried one by one and you’re still at a stand
but when i took the field we had one in command
yet i’m nothing but a plain old soldier

(chorus)
i’m nothing but a plain old soldier
an old revolutionary soldier
but i’ve handled a gun
where n-ble deeds were done
for the name of my commander was george washington

- stephen foster
