God, Bless This Valley

chorus:
God,bless our brothers, they were too young to die
bless our sisters for the tears that they cry
bless the families of those that were killed
God, bless this valley,its rivers and fields.
1st verse:
War came to this valley on the back of a horse
spreading fire and destruction like Hell was its source
so many men died defending our flag
now its shot full of holes like some dirty old rag.
chorus:
God,bless our brothers, they were too young to die
bless our sisters for the tears that they cry
bless the families of those that were killed
God, bless this valley,its rivers and fields.
2nd verse:
They hung Mosby's men just north of town
and an innocent farm boy, for cryin' out loud.
Now Stonewall is dead, Turner Ashby's gone too
folks round here wonderin' what we're gonna do.
chorus:
God,bless our brothers, they were too young to die
bless our sisters for the tears that they cry
bless the families of those that were killed
God, bless this valley,its rivers and fields.
3rd verse:
Now the bugle is silent, no one beats the drum.
everyone's prayin' that peace will soon come.
our foolish pride broken as sure as God's will
brought death to this valley, its rivers and fields
the end.
