_ _ _ _ _ He was a sweetheart, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ his hand _
_ _ [C#] curling, [Fm] _ _ his loving [G#] eyes were [C#] blue _ _
He told me that he loved me
And he [F#] often [C#] proved his soul
_ [F#] And he often _
_ [C#] sang to me
[G#] _ When the evening sun was low _ _ _
_ But they took him _ _ _ [A#] to his _ orphanage
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ And when [D#m]
he come to [A#] say goodbye _ _
[G#] He _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ says goodbye _ _ _ _ _ [A#] to Francis _ [C#] Cole _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He takes the gold unsangled ring
[F#] And he placed it on [C#] my hand
_ [D#m] Said remember me [C#] little dog
_ [G#] _ When I'm old man
[C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ He [D#] promised he would [C#]
write [G#] to me
[F#] That promise _ [C#] he's kept you
_ _ And [A#] when I'm _ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ gone pray the _ _ _ _ _ _ Lord
The second _ letter I got from [G#] him
[F#] The war was just a [C#] day
_ _ The _ _
[F#] third one wrote by his captain
[A#] _
_ [G#] _ _ _ Bill [C#] was dead
_ _ He called out _ _ _ [A#] I'll keep his gold [C#] ring
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ For the soldier who I'll [C#] be _ _ _
