The Crops In The Field

Don't fret Martha
You and the boys,
Show me your smile,
The North can't last
But just a while.
Why, 'tis but June,
No Yankee bullet for me,
I'll be home real soon.
That old roam and me,
When the Yankees yield,
The corn is high,
The crops in the field.
'Neath the Blue Ridge tonight
Martha stands weeping
So alone in the dark,
A Yankee bullet
Had found its mark.
No one to harvest the yield,
The corn is high,
The crops in the field.
