Artist/Band: Larry Sparks
Lyrics for Song: He Walked All The Way Home
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Larry Sparks



In the grim and final hour of the War between the States

He'd had enough dyin', all the grief that he could take

From the Appamattox Courthouse, where the deed was sadly done

There was no place left for him to go but home



Ch) He walked all the way home to Southampton County

To carry all he owned and try to forget

Wearing sadness like a mantle for the friends he lost in vain

He walked all the way home to start his life again



Chorus



2) In the end he knew the reasons but so many had been lost

For years to come the fallen would sleep beneath the cross

What he held in angry silence time could never burn away

It was just the saddest price he'd ever pay



Chorus



3) When he stopped to take some water at a little roadside place

A pretty southern widow sadly looked into his face

As they talked a while, his blue eyes seemed to ease her broken heart

One day he came back and took her home



Chorus
