Words: Charles C. Sawyer ||| Music: Henry Tucker ||| Arranged by Robert W. Allen ||| Source: Sheet music published by Sawyer & Thompson (Brooklyn, New York, 1863). ||| In Margaret Mitchell’s book, Gone with the Wind, Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara dance for the first time in Atlanta to a waltz which Scarlett identifies as "Weeping Sad and Lonely." This tune is not really a waltz. But, ah, I thought, what if it was? The result is this arrangement with Scarlett and Rhett tucked neatly between the second and third verses. | MP3.com CD: Marching On! - buy it!

Lyrics
Dearest love, do you remember when we last did meet,
How you told me that you loved me, kneeling at my feet?
Oh! How proud you stood before me in your suit of blue,
When you vowed to me and country ever to be true.
Chorus: Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears how vain! (Yet praying)
When this cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet again!
If, amid the din of battle, nobly you should fall,
Far away from those who love you, none to hear you call,
Who would whisper words of comfort? Who would soothe your pain?
Ah! The many cruel fancies ever in my brain.
(Chorus)
But our country called you, Darling, angels cheer your way;
While our nation’s sons are fighting, we can only pray.
Nobly strike for God and liberty, let all nations see
How we love our starry banner, emblem of the free.
(Chorus)
