The Ballad of Calvin Crozier
|
(Words and music by Kirk McLeod, arranged by Seven Nations)
|
|
Good people of this town
|
You'd do well to gather around
|
There is something that I must say
|
A good man died here on this day
|
You'd do well to know his name
|
And it's here his gravestone lays
|
He was free and the soldiers didn't understand
|
When he returned and gave his life for another man
|
|
Calvin Crozier
|
They made him dig his grave
|
Calvin Crozier
|
Then they shot him where he lay
|
Then the soldiers danced, well they danced all night
|
On the shallow grave of Calvin Crozier
|
|
He had fought for four long years
|
Seen his share of blood and tears
|
He had earned his long ride home
|
In a boxcar for the night
|
Union soldiers for delight
|
Came to make their presence known
|
|
He was free and the soldiers didn't understand
|
When he returned and gave his life for another man
|
|
Calvin Crozier
|
They made him dig his grave
|
Calvin Crozier
|
Then they shot him where he lay
|
Then the soldiers danced, well they danced all night
|
On the shallow grave of Calvin Crozier
