Cat. #0916 (MFH #235) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on September 16, 1969
VERSE 1
I'm going to Penscoaly
To tarry for awhile
Away from my dear darlin'
About five hundred miles
VERSE 2
Where th cannon loudly roarin'
An' th bullets swiftly fly
Th fife an' th drums are playin'
T' drown th deadly cry
VERSE 3
O, stay at home, my darlin'
Stay at home, my dear
Don't weep fer my long absence
While I'm a volunteer
VERSE 4
I'll stay at home, your darlin'
Remainder of my life
For long t' see th time come
T' be a soldiers wife
