Sun's Coming Up

Wake up my dear
The sun’s coming up
Over them hills
And there’s coffee in your cup
And I want to know
What you were dreaming of
Wake up my dear
The sun’s coming up
Last night in my dream
We were far far away
I was a soldier
And you were a maid
We worked like hell
For the money we made
Last night in my dream
We were far far away
I courted you gently
I courted you true
A pretty fair maiden
And me makes two
I swore that I
Would always love you
I courted you gently
And I courted you true
You and me
And a baby made three
A beautiful boy
A family we would be
His second year
I would never see
You and me
And a baby made three
One day they came
Roving through town
Said all you poor soldiers
Won’t you gather around
It’s time to fight
At the trumpets sound
One day they came
Roving to through town
We went to war
And death did we find
It was many a poor boy
That did surely die
And I thought of you
As I laid there and cried
We went to war
And death did we find
It pains me to think
If that were all true
To no longer love
Or hold you
I awoke with with sun
It was shining through
It pains me to think
If that were all true
Wake up my dear
The sun’s coming up
Over them hills
And there’s coffee in your cup
And I want to know
What you’re dreaming of
Wake up my dear
The sun’s coming up
