Words and Music by Joe LaMay
When peace returns to Maryville everybody’s gonna jump and shout
They’re gonna raise the flags and ring the bells and hang the banners out
And the band will play all night long - of that there is no doubt
When peace returns to Maryville everybody’s gonna jump and shout
When the boys return to Maryville everything is gonna be so grand
They’re gonna whoop and yell and kiss the girls - everybody’s gonna shake their hand
They’re gonna dance and sing all night long for the ones who saved their land
When the boys return to Maryville everything is gonna be so grand
When the dead return to Maryville everybody’s gonna hang their head
They’re gonna dress in black down by the track as all the words are said
They’re gonna take the bodies to the grave and put their souls to bed
When the dead return to Maryville everybody’s gonna hang their head
There’s a sunrise on the Wabash
I’m a soldier on the road
All I’ve won I’d gladly give back
It’s such a hard and a heavy load
When I return to Maryville I’m gonna ask you for your hand
We’re gonna build a house outside of town and work the fertile land
We’re gonna plants some crops - raise some kids - and live by God’s command
When I return to Maryville I’m gonna ask you for your hand
When I return to Maryville I’m gonna ask you for your hand
