The fires, the dead, the dying

Oh, can't you hear,
hear that angel band
singing, "Come home, soldier,

Oh, can't you hear,
hear that angel band

to the Promised Land."
Willy Johnson and me,
Rebel soldiers both from Tennessee.

Oh, can't you hear,
hear that angel band
singing, "Come home, soldier,
to the Promised Land."
