Johnny Reb (Album Version)

You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Saw you a-marchin with Robert E. Lee
You held your head high tryin to win the victory
You fought for your folks, but you didnt die in vain
Even tho you lost they speak highly of your name
Cause you fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
I saw the young boys as they began to fall
You had tears in your eyes cause you couldnt help at all
But you fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb

I saw Genral Lee raise a sabre in his hand
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red
When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead
Cause you fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
The folks thought hed call a great victry ball
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe
Cause you fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
