The Battle Of The Blue And The Grey

[Chorus:]
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Those years have passed away
It's gone, gone, gone
There's truth in what i say
It's gone, gone, gone
There's nothing more to say
But i'd do anything
If i could do it all again.

Well, i'm an old man now
And i'm born to win the race
People won't believe me
But there's truth in what i say
Many hearts were broken
And a lot of tears were shed
The sky was black
And the battlefield was red.

[Chorus]

Now, stonewall jackson stepped right up
And then he said to me
He said "the battle's gettin' rough son
Guess we better flee
There's grapeshot all around us
And the field is black with lead
You better start a-runnin' boy
Before you lose your head".

[Chorus]

Well, the cannons roared around us
And the field was black with lead
I picked a soldier dressed in blue
And filled him full of lead
I picked out six more soldiers
There a-sittin' on a mound
I fixed my bayonet to my gun
And really mowed them down.

[Chorus]
