JOHNNY REB
|
|
You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
|
You fought all the way Johnny Reb
|
|
Saw you a marchin' with Robert E Lee
|
You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
|
You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain
|
Even though you lost they speak highly of your name
|
Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
|
You fought all the way Johnny Reb
|
|
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
|
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
|
I saw the young boys as they began to fall
|
You had tears in your eyes cause you couldn't help at all
|
But you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
|
You fought all the way Johnny Reb
|
|
I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand
|
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
|
You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red
|
When the cannon smoke cleared it took days to count the dead
|
Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
|
You fought all the way Johnny Reb
|
|
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
|
The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball
|
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
|
For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed
|
Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
|
You fought all the way Johnny Reb
|
(Yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
|
You fought all the way Johnny Reb
|
You foughtall the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
|
(Yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb
