Lorena

Author: HDL Webster/ Joseph P. Webster 1

Source: Heart Songs

Notes: Soldiers on both sides in the war found singing a good way to pass time. Sentimental songs, marching songs and humorous songs all had their place. So many of the civil war soldiers left sweetheart?s behind. I?m sure their loneliness helped make Lorena one of the most popular of the sentimental songs sung by both sides.
