I returned to the fields of glory

Where the green grasses and flowers grow

And the wind softly tells the story

Of the brave lads of long ago

Chorus:

March no more my soldier laddie

There is peace where there once was war

Sleep in peace my soldier laddie

Sleep in peace, now the battle's over

In the great glen they lay a sleeping

Where the cool watеrs gently flow

And the gray mist is sadly weeping

For those bravе lads of long ago

Chorus

See the tall grass is there awaiting

As their banners of long ago

With their heads high forward threading

Stepping lightly to meet the foe

Chorus

Some return from the fields of glory

To their loved ones who held them dear

But some fell in that hour of glory

And were left to their resting here
