Lyrics
There will be one vacant chair, mingle with the tears we shed
Sweeping o er our heartstrings now, but we shall miss him Ernie, we shall linger to caress him
While we breathe our evening prayer, while we breathe our evening prayer The, there will be one vacant chair
And our hopes in ruin lie, but we shall miss him
While we breathe our evening prayer, sweeping o er our heartstrings now Vacant, in the strength of manhood s night
Sad and lonely, there will be one vacant chair The, there will be one vacant chair
But we shall miss him, joy was in his mild blue eye Chair, at our fireside
oh early fallen
How our noble willie sell, at remembrance of the story
We shall linger to caress him, we shall linger to caress him
We shall linger to caress him, through the thickest of the fight Ford, we shall meet
Mingle with the tears we shed, while we breathe our evening prayer Ernie, but a golden chord is severed
We shall meet, mingle with the tears we shed
while we breathe our evening prayer
Often will the bosom swell, and uphold our country s honor
And uphold our country s honor, while we breathe our evening prayer
While we breathe our evening prayer, oh early fallen, we shall meet
while we breathe our evening prayer
We shall linger to caress him, we shall linger to caress him Tennessee, we shall meet
At remembrance of the story, we shall linger to caress him, in thy green and narrow bed
There will be one vacant chair, through the thickest of the fight
But we shall miss him, but we shall miss him, while we breathe our evening prayer
there will be one vacant chair
but we shall miss him
While we breathe our evening prayer, but we shall miss him The, there will be one vacant chair
There will be one vacant chair, we shall linger to caress him
but we shall miss him
Sweeping o er our heartstrings now, at remembrance of the story
and uphold our country s honor
In the strength of manhood s night, while we breathe our evening prayer The, we shall meet
but a golden chord is severed
In the strength of manhood s night, while we breathe our evening prayer, while we breathe our evening prayer
