lyrics

VERSE 1

I FOUGHT A UNION SOLDIER MY BROTHER FOUGHT IN GRAY
MY MOTHER STAYED AT HOME ALONE AND ALL DAY LONG SHE'D PRAY
THE DAY THEY TOOK MY BROTHER THEY PULLED HIM FROM MY SIDE
AND THROUGH IT ALL I STILL RECALL THE WORDS MY BROTHER CRIED

CHORUS

HE SAID LETS GO HOME TO MOMMA AND TELL HER WHAT WE'VE DONE
THE COUNTRY'S IN AN UPROAR WE WON'T EVEN HAVE TO RUN
BROTHER LETS GO HOME TO MOMMA AND TELL HER WHAT WE'VE SEEN
AND NOT UNTIL WE'RE CRYING WILL SHE KNOW JUST WHAT WAR MEANS

VERSE 2

THE BATTLES THEY RAGED ON FOR DAYS THE FIELDS WERE TURNED BLOOD RED
EACH MORNING THEY WOULD SEND ME OUT TO HELP TO COUNT THE DEAD
THEN ONE DAY I FOUND MY BROTHER WITH A BULLET IN HIS SIDE
I HELD HIM THERE WITH TREMBLING HANDS AND JUST BEFORE HE DIED

CHORUS

SO I WENT HOME TO MOMMA AND OH HOW MOMMA CRIED
WHEN I TOLD HER WHAT MY BROTHER SAID JUST BEFORE HE DIED
AND THOUGH MY BROTHER NEVER TOLD HER JUST WHAT HE HAD SEEN
OH I STILL THINK MY MOMMA KNOWS JUST WHAT WAR MEANS

FINAL CHORUS

BROTHER LETS GO HOME TO MOMMA AND TELL HER WHAT WE'VE DONE
THE COUNTRY'S IN AN UPROAR WE WON'T EVEN HAVE TO RUN
BROTHER LETS GO HOME TO MOMMA AND TELL HER WHAT WE'VE SEEN
AND NOT UNTIL WE'RE CRYING WILL SHE KNOW JUST WHAT WAR MEANS
AND THOUGH MY BROTHER NEVER TOLD HER JUST WHAT HE HAD SEEN
OH I STILL THINK MY MOMMA KNOWS JUST WHAT WAR MEANS
BROTHER LETS GO HOME TO MOMMA WHILE WE STILL CAN
