[00:10.83] France's sun was slowly
[00:14.23] Sinking o'er the hilltops far away
[00:17.58] The land was in its beauty
[00:19.83] Where the dying soldier lay
[00:23.36] Tears were streaming down his face
[00:27.10] As he slowly raised his head
[00:29.56] And these were the dying words he said:
[00:34.49] "Oh, carry me back to old Tennessee"
[00:39.43] "Let this be my last repose"
[00:43.80] "Lay my feet beneath the lilacs"
[00:49.55] "Lay my head beneath the rose"
[00:55.10]
[01:16.65] "Take this message to my mother
[01:19.62] "For I know she's old and gray"
[01:22.50] "At home I know she's
[01:24.10] Waiting,looking for her boy some day"
[01:28.46] "Oh, dear mother, I pulled through for my country and for you"
[01:34.23] "And I'm dying for the red, white, and blue"
[01:39.41] "Oh, carry me back to old Tennessee"
[01:44.05] "Let this be my last repose"
[01:49.09] "Lay my feet beneath the lilacs"
[01:54.17] "Lay my head beneath the rose"
[01:58.47]
[02:21.01] "O'er the hills of Tennessee where the wild winds wander free"
[02:27.15] "The little girl waiting there for me"
[02:32.26] "Tell her that the rose she gave me will be placed upon my grave"
[02:37.66] "In memory of her soldier brave"
[02:42.49] "Oh, carry me back to old Tennessee"
[02:47.58] "Let this be my last repose"
[02:52.45] "Lay my feet beneath the lilacs"
[02:57.33] "Lay my head beneath the rose"
[02:59.84]
