Tennessee quickstep

I was awakened quite rudely in the night
And with a burning pain I jumped out of my tent
And now I'm dancing with death in the moonlight
Now I'm doing the Tennessee quickstep

And now I'm dancing to my grave 
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Doing the Tennessee quickstep

Our reinforcements are so far from the fight
The air is hot, mosquitoes choke the night
I always thought it'd be a bullet take my life
But, now I'm doing the Tennessee quickstep

And now I'm dancing to my grave 
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Doing the Tennessee quickstep

Now I'm dancing to my grave 
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Now I'm dancing to my grave
Doing the Tennessee quickstep
