Looking for a military-type song title

[Gubbubu]

I'm lookin for an old military marching-type song what's lyrics contains the following or similar expressions:

Refraint:

1. "Behind the (taxes? saxons?) I ('ll? 've? ). find (found?) you"
2. " .... in your(?) way"
3. "Behind the ... I ... find you"
4. And cannot (couldn't?) get away",
5. ....
6. "(S?)he died early in the war,"
(Choir: war!)
7. "Behind the .. etc."
8. "And ... "

Please, if anyone knows the lyrics and music writer, the performer(s) and a link to lyrics, be so kind to share it.

mmmhhh..., maybe: Sunday bloody sunday by U2

But I think the lyric fragments ar different from the U2 Lyrics.

How old is the song you are looking for?

I don't know exactly. But this is not a rock song, rather a chanson or something more classical, with trompets or horns in the background. I heard it on a Hungarian radio in the eighties; so I think if in the other side of the iron curtain it was played, then had to be quite popular or quite known in England. But I couldn't find anything with google or similar methods,

My suggestion is a song from America's Civil War period (circa 1861) called "John Brown's Body".
See the attached link for more information.

No ... the tune is a bit similar but not by a long chalk the same (probably, if it was accelerated to twice as much its tempo now ...), but the lyrics is totally different.
