Heart-carved tree trunk, Yankee bayonet
A sweetheart left behind

That's where my true love lies

To no more bulletin battle-cry
Then will you make a grave
Though I lingered here with the blankets barren
Then will you make a grave
Though our skin may not touch skin
And my own belly big with a child
I will be home then
All the bellies and the bones and the bile
Look for me when the sun-bright swallow
Stems and bones and stone walls too
But when the sun breaks
But when the sun breaks
All a'chew on your bones so dry
For I will be home then
For I will be home then
When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee
I will be home then
A sweetheart left behind
To keep me from you
There at the fair when our eyes caught, careless
Could keep me from you
I will be home then
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas
To no more bulletin battle-cry

Made a seam to hem me in
Then
Sings upon the birch bough high
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
Heart-carved tree trunk, Yankee bayonet
I will be home then
Songwriter: Colin Meloy
Got my heart right pierced by a pin
I will be home then
Scaly skin is all too few
I will come on the breath of the wind
But oh, my love, though our bodies may be parted
I will be home then
That's where my true love lies
But oh, did you see all the dead of Manassas
