Lyrics

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 waters gently flow
And the gray mist is sadly weeping
For those brave 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
