Vocal Duett.

SOLDIER.
Lady, I go to fight for thee,
Where gory banners wave,
To fight for thee, and, oh, perchance
To find a soldier’s grave.
LADY.
Soldier, I stay to pray for thee,
A harder task is mine;
To which, and long in lonely grief,
That victory may be thine.
SOLDIER.
Lady, I go and fight for thee.
LADY.
Soldier, I stay and pray for thee.
BOTH.
And strength and faith combined,
Still form the magic sword,
Wherewith the Southrons victory find,
The Southrons victory find.

“Lady, I go to fight for thee!”

SOLDIER.
Fare thee well!
LADY.
Fare thee well!

THE SOUTH OUR COUNTRY.
