Rachel - Russell Morris

Gather round ma’s knees

To read this weeks letter

I wonder what will be

We hope the news is better

The men here die like flies ma

I bandaged their blinded eyes ma

And the kids with their aching feet

Ain’t got nothing to eat ma

The hospital has no door dad

Soldiers lie on the floor dad

Oh I did my best

But I can’t take anymore dad

Rachel’s coming home

Rachel’s coming home

And I don’t think she’ll go away again

Rachel’s seen the light

The world is too thick to fight

And I don’t think she’ll go away again

My dear family

The world and the people in it

Go the way they will

And there’s not a man

Black or White

Who can ever hope

To stop them

So

Rachel’s coming home

Rachel’s coming home

And I don’t think she’ll go away again

Rachel’s seen the light

The world’s too big to fight

And I don’t think she’ll go away again

Rachel’s coming home

Rachel’s coming home

And I don’t think she’ll go away again

Rachel’s coming home

Rachel’s coming home

And I don’t think she’ll go away again

Rachel’s seen the light

The world’s too big to fight

And I don’t think she’ll go away again

Arrghh ah ah

Rachel’s coming home

Rachel’s coming home

And I don’t think she’ll go away again

Arrghh ah ah

Rachel’s coming home

Oh Rachel’s coming home

And I don’t…
