My feet have stood on holy ground,
Above the grandest dead,
or all that sacrifcial host
Who followed where he led.
Our matchless hero who oft dared
The thrust of martial foe,
His battles DER, his laurels won.
No broken rest can know.
The immor telles around him breathe
Their incense night and day,
And every Southern heart keeps watch,
Above his sacred clay.
His name The Keynote TO our souls,
The pride of all our land,
We loved him as the valiant Chief
Of our brave Southern band.
No monumental slab need bear
His name for men to see,
For deep in every Southern heart
It's shrined eternally.
Oh grand old chieftain, bound to us
BY ties of sacred blood
Scarce less than worship do we give
To thee, the great and good.
We bring our hearts among the flowers,
Our hearts-(tis all we eau,
Made sacred by our tears Ger him,
Americas first man.
Our Southern heroes died in vain.
But conquered though we be,
The fallen South-a Queen in tears,
Thanks God for Robert Lee.
