He Walked All The Way Home |
| 1) In the grim and final hour of the War between the States |
| HeÕd had enough dyinÕ, all the grief that he could take |
| From the Appamattox Courthouse, where the deed was sadly done |
| There was no place left for him to go but home |
| Ch) He walked all the way home to Southampton County |
| To carry all he owned and try to forget |
| Wearing sadness like a mantle for the friends he lost in vain |
| He walked all the way home to start his life again |
| Chorus |
| 2) In the end he knew the reasons but so many had been lost |
| For years to come the fallen would sleep beneath the cross |
| What he held in angry silence time could never burn away |
| It was just the saddest price heÕd ever pay |
| Chorus |
| 3) When he stopped to take some water at a little roadside place |
| A pretty southern widow sadly looked into his face |
| As they talked a while, his blue eyes seemed to ease her broken heart |
| One day he came back and took her home |
