I Only Regret That I Have But One Life Lyrics
I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.
Nathan Hale was a young teacher from Connecticut who served as a spy for the American army. He was captured by the British on September 21, 1776, and executed the next day without a military trial, or court martial. He probably never said, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country,”
