Will D. Cobb and Gus Edwards (songwriters of yesteryear) actually wrote the lyrics and Jeff Tweedy set it to new music. (You can hear the old music if you look up the Johnny Cash & Carter Family version.) This new version was covered by Laura Cantrell.
I am confused as to why Chelsea Walls is listed under Billy Bragg (as of the date of this comment). The score is all Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco).
It's a song about a World War I (a.k.a. The Great War) soldier who dies in combat, and the young woman back home who he loves.
