Kate & Anna McGarrigleRufus WainwrightWas My Brother in the Battle Lyrics
Tell me, tell me, weary soldier from the rude and stirring wars
Was my brother in the battle where you gained those noble scars?
He was ever brave and valiant, and I know he never fled
Was his name among the wounded or numbered with the dead?
Was my brother in the battle when the tide of war ran high?
You would know him in a thousand by his dark and flashing eye
