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