Some had on the Rebel grey, Some the Union blue,
|
They were fathers,sons and brothers, men like me and you.
|
Engaged in heavy battle, till there came that cloudy draw,
|
When silence took the battlefield men just stood in awe.
|
|
Some say it was the cannon smoke some say the Northern lights,
|
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night,
|
Some say it was God's spirit lookin' o'er the bloody sod,
|
And that rainbow mist that filled the sky, was the tears of God.
|
|
Both sides read his Holy Word and believed it in thier hearts,
|
But the common ground He'd blessed them with had now been torn apart.
|
Covered by the blood they shed so many lost their lives,
|
The fight on that Virginia hill was enough to make Him cry.
|
|
Some say it was the cannon smoke some say the Northern lights,
|
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night,
|
Some say it was God's spirit looking o'er the bloody sod,
|
And that rainbow mist that filled the sky, was the tears of God.
