Lyrics
1. Just a tear-dimmed eye
Just a tender sigh
Just a little sadness and yearning
Dearest one don’t cry
When we kiss good-bye
I’ll return with all my love still burning
CHORUS
Just a good-bye kiss sweetheart
Just a kiss before we part
We may never meet again
Still I’ll always love you
Sweetest of my souvenirs
I will cherish thru the years
For you gave your heart with this
Your good-bye kiss
2. How the pulse will throb
And the heart will sob
Lips in pain frame word never spoken
Let me hold you near
Let me kiss you dear
I must go so give me this one token

Lyrics
1. Tis old Stonewall the Rebel that leans on his sword:
“Now each cavalier that loves Honor and Right,
Let him follow the feather of Stuart to night!”
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle your blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
CHORUS
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle you blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
2. Now gallop now gallop to swim o[‘]er t[‘]e ford!
Old Stonewall, still watching, prays low to the Lord:
“Now Bye dear old Rebel! the river’s not wide,
And Mary-land’s light’s in her window to guide.”
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle your blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
3. There’s a man in a white house with blood on his mouth!
If there’s knaves in the North, there are braves in the South.
We are three thousand horses, and not one afraid;
We are three thousand sabres, and not one dull blade.
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle your blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
4. Then gallop, then gallop by ravines and rocks!
Who would bar us the way take his toll in hard knocks;
For with these points of steel, on the line of Penn,
We have made some fine strokes, and we make them again.
Then tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle your blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid! Riding a Raid (1863)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sUnDAhZhpVY/mqdefault.jpg)
