tramp! tramp! tramp! (the prisoner's hope) - george frederick root lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
in the prison cell i sit, thinking mother, dear, of you
and our bright and happy home so far away
and the tears they fill my eyes, in spite of all that i can do
though i try to cheer my comrades and be g-y

[chorus]
tramp, tramp, tramp! the boys are marching
cheer up, comrades, they will come
and beneath the starry flag, we shall breathe the air again
of the free land in our own beloved homes

[verse 2]
in the battle front we stood when their fiercest charge they made
and they swept us off, a hundred men or more
but before they reached our lines, they were beaten back, dismayed
and we heard the cry of victory o’er and o’er

[chorus]
tramp, tramp, tramp! the boys are marching
cheer up, comrades, they will come
and beneath the starry flag, we shall breathe the air again
of the free land in our own beloved homes

[verse 3]
so within the prison cell, we are waiting for the day
that you’ll come to open wide the iron door
and the hollow eye grow bright and the poor heart almost g-y
when we think of seeing home and friends once more

[chorus]
tramp, tramp, tramp! the boys are marching
cheer up, comrades, they will come
and beneath the starry flag, we shall breathe the air again
of the free land in our own beloved homes
