Civil War Lament
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They packed us up in boxes, wooden boxes
And sent us home
Underneath the willow, near the river
By my headstone
And all you do is carry on
It's snowing now it's winter, river's frozen
And still you come
I can almost see you, and touch you
My pretty one
When all you do is carry on
