Cat. #0643 (MFH #384) - As sung by Reba Dearmore, Mountain Home, Arkansas on January 7, 1969
VERSE 1
Here stands a loving couple
A joining heart and hands
One wants a wife and the other wants a man
They will get married if they can agree
And they'll march down th center
With love an' harmony
VERSE 2
O, now they are married,
N' since it is so
Away to th war in a haste he must go
A weeping an' mourning an' that shall be th cry
If I never see my true love
O, surely I will die
VERSE 3
But its yonder she comes
And its Howdy, Howdy - do
How have you been since I last saw you
Th war is all over and there's peace upon th land
And we'll all give them joy
By th raising of our hands
