Cat. #0874 (MFH #612) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on August 27, 1969
VERSE 1
You ask me stranger, why I made this journey
Why I crossed ten thousand mile of roll'in waste
Just like so many others, my love was killed in action
That's why I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
VERSE 2
When I come to th place, where he is sleep'in
I know it will cause more heartaches an' sighs
But I long to be there beside him
An' tell 'im that I love 'im, an' will until I die
VERSE 3
Somewhere 'mong th many thousands
Of the Americans who died true an' brave
There I know right where I'll find 'im sleeping
That's why I'm here, I'm searching for his grave
