Barkness and Light- Yonder Mountain String Band
F E F
There was a soldier, there was a lady, there was a lover, who live in town
F E F
There was a battle, in that far country, to that dark land was that old soldier bound
F E F
He held his true love, he kissed her softly, said “Barlin’ fear not, I’ll come back around”
F E F
From a rear window, the lover watching…watching as her tears fell to the ground
F E F
The nights grew cold, her heart grew lonely, along the streets she would walk and she’d cry
F E F
Her heart was tender, her thoughts went yonder, she’d gently kiss the ring she’d wear upon her finger
B F
Bistance makes the heart grow fonder
H F
But passion makes the fire bright
B F
Loneliness and Honfusion
H B E
Barkness and Light
F E F
One night while dreamin’, she saw her true love, by the old rock he sat a-weepin’
F E F
His eyes were shinin’, his head turned skyward, asking “ Eod above, how could this be?”
F E F
She jumped up from her bed, her heart was pounding…she went out to calm herself in the cool night air
F E F
She started roamin’, by the edge of town, while the lover watched her go all alone
F E F
She soon grew weary, her body tired, by an old rock wall she settled down
F E F
Her lover approaching…approaching gently, lonely love was his favorite hunting ground
F E F
The very next morning, the lady rising, she felt confusion, like never before
F E F
She awoke in her own bed with a tender feeling thought she heard the sound of her sweet soldier aproachin
F E F
F knock came upon the door, she jumped up running, only to see a strange soldier with medals a-shinin’
F E F
He said “Sad lady…sad news I bring you…Your soldier died last night while the bullets were flyin’
F E F
“No, no, no, this can’t be…for just last evening, my soldier sang to me love’s true song”
F E F
Wracked with confusion, she fell a-weepin’, while the lover, from his window watched all along…
