Lyrics
  • Salvation Lassie of Mine Verse: They say it’s in heaven that all angels dwell, But I’ve come to learn they’re on earth just as well
  • And how would I know that the like could be so, If I hadn’t found one down here below: Refrain: A sweet little angel that went o’er the sea, With the emblem of God in her hand, A wonderful angel who brought there to me, The sweet of a war furrowed land The crown on her head was a ribbon of red, A symbol of all that’s divine, Tho’ she called each a brother, she’s more like a mother, salvation lassie of mine. Verse: Perhaps in the future I’ll meet here again, In that world where no one knows sorrow or pain
  • And when that time comes and the last word is said, Then place on my bosom, her band of red: Refrain
