Lyrics

When I walk into a battle will I be a strong man as I hold this riffle musket in my trembling hands
Will I turn around and run and be shunned by everyone or fight proud and brave and be taken to my grave
Chorus
Oh chaplain here me calling out to you whats a young boys heart suppose to do and chaplain take me by your weary side and pray for me to go to heaven should I die

Will I be sickened by the blood that colors the farmers field will I cry out loudly for the death of my peers will I go to shoot a man and be frozen in my stance or will I shoot him down with just one round oh here I go again
Chours
Oh chaplain here me calling out to you whats a young boys heart suppose to do and chaplain take me by your weary side and pray for me to go to heaven should I die

And this train keeps a rolling down these old rusty rail you can hear her whistle blowing across this northern Ohio trail

When I reach my destination I will try to be brave I will fight for my country no matter what it takes and if I do not survive will someone please take me home and bury me in the soil of Ohio
Chours
Oh chaplain here me calling out to you whats a young boys heart suppose to do and chaplain take me by your weary side and pray for me to go to heaven should I die and pray for me to go to heaven should I die

Hi Ryan, thank you very much for sharing! Thank you for the wonderful comment! Lisa

When I was a young child, my great aunt showed me the uniform and saber that a great uncle of mine carried in the Civil War. He was an officer from Ohio. I don't know what happen to either, she died while I was in Vietnam. However, it gave me a link to my past that I have never forgotten, particularly after being in a war and knowing the sacrifices that soldiers endured for their country. As I get older, I appreciate more and more those links to the past. God bless American.

Lovely song - my son is in Iraq and totally disillusioned, these poor kids have no idea who they are fighting against or what they are dying for.. God help them.

Mara may they come home soon alive and safe . May they be surrounded by angels . God help them . They need to come home. Not die over lies.

I love this song you have such a beautiful voice. I had bought the CD with this song a few months back but my now ex-wife didn't like it and threw it out the car window but I've gladly bought it again.

My ancestor Isaac Delamater was the chaplain of the 72nd Indiana. This was so very beautiful. Can't wait to pick up this album!
