Text

C#m F#

Oh she knows

She takes his hand

And prays the child will understand

C#m F# B

At the door they watch the men go by

G#m

In the clothes that daddy wore

Mother?s pride

Baby boy

His fathers eyes

G#m A

He?s a soldier waiting for war

Time will come

He?ll hold a gun

His father?s son

C#m F#

And as he grows

He hears the band

G#m

Takes the step from boy to man

C#m F# B

& at the shore she waves her son goodbye

G#m

Like the man she did before

Mother?s pride

Just a boy

His country?s eyes

G#m A

He?s a soldier waving at the shore

And in her heart the time has come

To lose a son

C#m

And all the husbands, all the sons,

all the lovers gone

They make no difference

G#m

No difference in the end

C#m F# B

Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero

G#m

In the name of God and name

Mother?s pride

Crazy boy

His lifeless eyes

G#m A

He?s a soldier now forevermore

He?ll hold a gun ?till kingdom come
