What was my arm worth when they took it away
And the spirit that Russia said, aw, promise to stay
Where did they put it, Bella, where, and which way
Did it start, the man charged at me and I'm in vain
Or is it with my brother, is it with my brother, in a meaningless grave
Tell me where, tell me where do I go find it
What has my arm weighed in the balance of things
Are there still birds a'flyin', in a brushin' of wings
Or do they still keep disguised, still keep disguised as a terrible thing
We spoiled all their singin', babe, and a smashin' of their wings
Wish I could go with them, brother, above all things
It's only a stub of the original thing
That was there when I signed and then saluted my king
Where, tell me where do I go find it
And the spirit that Russia said, aw, promise to stay
Where did they put it, Bella, where, and which way
Did it start, the man charged at me and I'm in vain
Or is it with my brother, is it with my brother, in a meaningless grave
Tell me where, tell me where do I go find it
What has my arm weighed in the balance of things
Are there still birds a'flyin', in a brushin' of wings
Or do they still keep disguised, still keep disguised as a terrible thing
We spoiled all their singin', babe, and a smashin' of their wings
Wish I could go with them, brother, above all things
It's only a stub of the original thing
That was there when I signed and then saluted my king
Where, tell me where do I go find it
