G
Lowly deserter, sing that old song,
C G
and sing a new one for the men

Still in battle, far from heaven,
D7 G
raise your voice up and sing to them

Lowly, lowly, it must be lonesome,
C G
take a hard look at yourself

And your brother still in battle

Sing his praises, or don’t sing again

Don’t deny you never ran

And when that feeling comes to take you
D7 G
Take you walking the streets of hell
