The Battle Of The Blue and Grey

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

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 sa

But I'd do anything if I could do it all again

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 " .

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, 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

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
