  E               B                                  E

  While the shot and shells were scattering

  B                 E

  All o'er the battlefield

                    A                                 E

  While the boys in France were fighting 

       B                            E

  To save their noble flag

  

  Save their flag or give their lives

  All for their country and home

  They brought him back and heard him say

  I can no longer stay

  

  Go take the news to Mother

  For she knows how well I love her

  Kiss her dear sweet lips for me

  Tell her I'm not coming home

  

  Oh tell my darling sweetheart

  That her lips I'll kiss no more

  For this battlefield is awful

  I'm sure I'll see her no more

  

  Now, I'd love to see my mother

  Kneeling by the old hearth stone

  But I'm in this hell right here on earth

  And her prayer I'll hear no more

  

  Go take the news to Mother

  For she knows how well I love her

  Kiss her dear sweet lips for me

  Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmmmm

  

  B                                       E

  Tell her I'm not coming home
