GIn the rattle of the battle came a whisper soft and low
From a soldier who'd been wounded in the D7fray
I am Gdying Captain dying and I Cpray before I go
You will D7give your promise ere I pass Gaway
Verse:
Do not Cask me dear to linger for I Gknow not what to say
When duty calls your sweetheart's name in D7vain
I hope your Gheart will not be crying if I'm Cnot among the dying
I'll be D7with you when the roses bloom Gagain
Chorus:
Yes when the Croses bloom again beside the Griver
And the robin redbreast sings it's sweet D7refrain
As in Gdays of Old Lang Syne I'll be Cwith you sweetheart mine
I'll be D7with you when the roses bloom Gagain
