| I wrote me a letter to Syracuse, it was a letter full of lies |
| I told them that we were doing fine, very much to their surprise |
| For how were they to know that here the ground was soaked in red |
| Or that we could fill the valley with our dead |
| I started out and told them that by Christmas we’d begin |
| To pack our bags and head on home to bring the new year in |
| While all around me boys who help me sow last season’s crop |
| By charging at the cannons till they drop |
| I told my mother not to write cause we’re always moving on |
| I told my brother not to join cause he’d only fight me gun |
| But if we keep on much further retreating all the way |
| Oh we’d all be going home just any day |
| I wrote me a letter to Syracuse, it was a letter full of lies |
| I told them that we were doing fine, very much to their surprise |
| For how were they to know that here the ground was soaked in red |
| Or that we could fill the valley with our dead |
