All out in the snow they are tonight,
Far away from kin and home.
God help the ones who fight for the right,
And them who are done gone on.
Poor soldier, hungry and cold Poor soldier, hungry and cold
‘Tis well I recollect when he bid me farewell
He wept with head held high.
Away to fight for the stars and the stripes,
Perhaps away to die.
Poor soldier, hungry and cold Poor soldier, hungry and cold
But those who sent him o to war
To risk both life and limb,
Now he’s come home, they’ve all turned their back. Oh who will fight for him?
Poor soldier, hungry and cold Poor soldier, hungry and cold

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
