Titel: One Day We'll See Them
Artist: Alex Campbell
Album: Folk Friends (1976)
(Alex Campbell)
Orig.: D
G C G
Darkness is fading, the day it is dawing
C G D7
The fields they are empty nae workers today
G C G
Farmers and young men all have been going
C G D7 G
To battles in lands that lie far away
G D7 G
Yet one day we'll see them come by the hillside
D7 G D7
Husbands and sons will return to their homes
G C G
Yet still my heart grieves the price of the young brides
C G D7 G
The widows and sweethearts left sadly to mourn
G C G
The call when it came found our menfolk aye ready
C G D7
Each knew the reasons for war so they thought
G C G
Then came the doubting but still they were steady
C G D7 G
Slow dying in cold clay a-cursing their lot
G D7 G
Yet one day we'll see them there on the hillside
D7 G D7
Though knowing in hearts they are but to dream
G C G
The grief in the long glen, the gloom at the fireside
C G D7 G
Will pass like the springbreeze had never had been
