[00:00.000]Just Before the Battle, Mother - Ernest Pike
[00:12.070]Just before the battle mother
[00:18.179]I am thinking most of you
[00:24.479]While upon the fields we're watching
[00:30.717]With the enemy in view
[00:37.416]Comrades brave are round me lying
[00:44.005]Filled with thoughts of home and dear
[00:49.965]For well they know that on the morrow
[00:57.465]For they know again with dear
[01:04.775]Farewell mother you may never
[01:11.515]Press me to your heart again
[01:17.624]But oh you'll not forget me mother
[01:25.284]If I'm numbered with the slain
[01:43.954]Hark I hear the bugels sounding
[01:50.333]'Tis the signal for the fight
[01:56.473]Now may God protect us mother
[02:02.573]As he ever does the right
[02:08.762]Hear the battle cry of freedom
[02:15.050]How it swells up in the air
[02:21.099]Oh yes we'll rally round the standard
[02:28.569]Or we'll perish nobly there
[02:36.339]Farewell mother you may never
[02:42.959]Press me to your heart again
[02:48.948]But oh you'll not forget me mother
[02:56.718]If I'm numbered with the slain
