Kansas Cried Lyrics - Crop Circles - Dean Brody

He fell in love with a girl named Kansas, 

In the fall of 1863, 

A farm boy and an officer's daughter, 

In a time when young hearts shouldn't dream, 

He said, "Kansas, I'll live you forever," 

So she married him under an August sun, 

But as they finished their vows, 

Some soldiers came through town, 

Said, "We're lookin' for the willing and the young," 

He left standin' in her white dress 

As he bravely marched through the night 

And as she fell to the ground 

He left to the sound 

Of hearing his sweet Kansas cry

He learned how to hunt 'round Topeka, 

But he learned how to kill at Spring Hill, 

The blood and the smoke sure crushed any hope, 

That he'd find his way through that hell, 

He left standin' in her white dress 

As he bravely marched through the night 

And as she fell to the ground 

He left to the sound 

Of hearing his sweet Kansas cry 

He wrote, "Dear Kansas, I, 

Fear that tonight I might break your heart, 

'Cus the fog's rollin' in, and we're runnin' outta men, 

And we've been ordered to lead the charge," 

He left standin' in her white dress 

As he bravely marched through the night 

And as she fell to the ground 

He left to the sound 

Of hearing his sweet Kansas cry 

Photos 

He thought of her in her white dress, 

As he bravely marched toward the fight, 

And as he fell to the ground, 

He called her name out, 

And somewhere his sweet Kansas cried
