Your rating:
On July 3rd in '63 I was a Corporal with the infantry And I left my home in Tennessee For I must follow General Lee This was the Battle of Gettysburg Where a sea of soldiers did converge Bayonets, I heard them say And now, the charge was on it's way I shouted loud, a rebel yell And the sky was filled with cannon shell And a horse cried out, my God, it's hell This was the Battle of Gettysburg A boy up front fell to his knees And I heard him cry, come to me, please I held him gently and laid him down And he looked at me from that battleground Then from the camp, I saw a curl My very soul, this was a girl She held her side and said to me If I must die, then let it be My love lies dead, I know not where But now I pray, I join him there Then she smiled and touched my face Closed her eyes and left this place My eyes were filled with bitter tears As sounds of dying filled my ears I said, oh, Lord, and raised my hand I'll never hate another man This was the Battle of Gettysburg I yelled to Lee, at General Lee To stop the cannons and concede But no one heard, the words were gone A sargeant said, get up, push on This was the Battle of Gettysburg I shouted loud, a rebel yell And the sky was filled with cannon shell And a horse cried out, my God, it's hell This was the Battle of Gettysburg Yes, this was the Battle of Gettysburg This was the Battle of Gettysburg Yes, this was the Battle of Gettysburg
