[00:00.00]All Quiet Along The Potomac - Union Confederacy
[00:04.11]All quiet along the Potomac tonight
[00:14.33]All quiet along the Potomac tonight
[00:18.83]Except here and there a stray picket
[00:23.38]Is shot as he walks on his beat to and fro
[00:27.91]By a rifleman hid in the thicket
[00:32.61]'Tis nothing a private or two now and then
[00:36.93]Will not count in the news of the battle;
[00:41.84]Not an officer lost only one of the men
[00:46.32]Moaning out all alone the death rattle
[00:55.80]"All quiet along the Potomac tonight "
[01:06.68]There's only the sound of the lone sentry's tread
[01:11.05]As he tramps for the rock to the fountain
[01:15.98]And thinks of the two on the low trundle bed
[01:20.41]Far away in the cot on the mountain
[01:25.32]His musket falls slack
[01:27.48]His face dark and grim
[01:30.07]Grows gentle with memories tender
[01:34.96]As he mutters a pray'r for the children asleep
[01:39.32]And their Mother may heaven defend her
[01:50.08]"All quiet along the Potomac tonight "
[02:01.71]Hark Was it the night wind that rustled the leaves
[02:05.88]Was it moonlight so wondrously flashing
[02:10.77]It looks like a rifle Ah Mary good bye
[02:15.26]And the lifeblood is ebbing and splashing
[02:19.98]All quiet along the Potomac tonight
[02:24.70]No sound save the rush of the river
[02:29.43]While soft falls the dew on the face of the dead
[02:34.12]The picket's off duty forever
[02:45.43]All quiet along the Potomac tonight
