Verse 1:
Lowly deserter, sing that old song
And sing a new one for the men
Still in battle, far from heaven
Raise your voice up and sing to them
Verse 2:
Lowly, lowly, it must be lonesome
Take a hard look at yourself
And your brother still in battle
Sing his praise, or don't sing again
Chorus 2×
And when that question comes to find you
Don't deny you ever ran
And when that feeling comes to take you
Take you walking the streets of hell
Verse 3:
Lowly deserter, sing that old song
And sing a new one for the men
Still in battle, far from heaven
Raise your voice up and sing to them
