Lyrics
Ada Claire get on up from there Go press your dress and plait your hair Death has come with its icy stare They're layin' your husband in the grave It was '61 when he had gone And Ada Claire was left alone She watched the road for his return But, alas, she was waiting in vain Ada Claire get on up from there Go press your dress and plait your hair Death has come with its icy stare They're layin' your husband in the grave He marched along and his feet grew tired Up ahead was heard the musket fire The circumstances of his life were dire Ada Claire you're waiting in vain. Ada Claire, get on up from there Go press your dress and plait your hair Death has come with its icy stare They're layin' your husband in the grave. It had been a year since he had gone In the midst of the battle he had fought They cut him down, yes, his life was lost Ada Claire, you're waiting in vain. Ada Claire get on up from there Go press your dress and plait your hair Death has come with its icy stare They're layin' your husband in the grave
