I have heard the cannons thundering at night And I cannot help but wondering why the rebel's cause is right And the morphine seems to do no good at all I would run all the way if I would not fall
And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair If I'm ever on my feet again I will I will run all the way just to meet you there
Joined the southern cavalry for fun I have rode a thousand horses, always I had a way with a gun Now I'm among the horseless riders lying still Swallowed up by the cause on Widow's Hill
And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair If I'm ever on my feet again I will And I will run all the way just to meet you there
And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden And I kissed you as I placed it in your hair If I'm ever on my feet again I will And I will run all the way just to meet you there
