The Battle of the Blue and the 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 say
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 is getting rough, son
Guess we better flee
There's grapeshot all around us and the
Field is black with lead
You better start running boy before
You lose your head

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, 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 sitting 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
