Verse 1
D
I was in the U .S. Army in 1944
waiting to go overseas and
I had a weekend pass
and went up to New York
and found that Moses Ashe,
who later on ran Folkways records
was willing to record these songs
of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.
And on Sunday we recorded six songs,
A
some in English,
D
some in our fractured Spanish.
I didn't really know how to speak
or sing the language,
G
but I guess a lot of
the brigade members
A
D
didn't know very well either.
There's a valley in Spain called Jarama
A
It's a place that we all know so well
D
Where we all learned
G
the true cost of freedom,
A
D
And so many of our brave comrades fell.
We are proud of the Lincoln Battalion,
A
And the fight for Madrid that they made.
D
G
There we fought like the sons of the people,
A
D
as a part of the 15th Brigade.
When I went back to Spain in 1971,
I was not allowed to sing these songs
A
by the Franco government.
D
However, in 1978, Franco was dead
and I came back and sang
and of course I sang all these songs.
Bb
A
D
Now remember
the valley of Rama
And the ones who would set
D
When the hearts of your
G
people were divided,
A
D
You will never find friends such as we.
From this valley you know we are going,
A
Do not hasten to bid us adieu.
D
Although we lost the battle of Hurama,
G
A
we'll set that valley free
D
before we're through.
I said, how come you sing these songs
in the same versions that I sing?
And they said, oh,
we learned them off your record.
A
We made tapes of them
and brought them across the border
D
and played them for each other.
Of course, if we played them very loud,
G
we might have gotten arrested.
Bb
A
So that little record
D
kept alive in Spain,
some of these songs.
A
D
All the world is like the valley Harama,
A
so green and so bright and so fair.
D
Now we're far from that
D
A
D
but for the memories we carry from there.
Now we're far from that valley, Harama,
G
A
But for the memories we
D
G
A
D
carry from there.
That little record kept alive in Spain
