Your mother died night you were bornHer name you never knewLook away, Look awayNothing to loseLeft East Tennessee at fourteenWandered to the West Look away, Look away Born into deathYou fought the sailors in New OrleansYou worked the flatboats and walked the streets Hit Nacogdoches in '49And there we met for the very first timeKid don't you know me?We are the last of the trueDrink up! Drink up!Drink up! Drink up!Cause tonight your soul's required of youSigned on with a stone mad captainRode on MexicoLook away, Look away War behold Jailed with killers one and all SongtexteBut we were killers freeLook away, Look awayLook to meYou saw the lancers 'mid heathen hordesBloodstained veils and costumes of warHell ain't half full boy hear meWar is the game and the god we seekWe set out as men of reasonArmed with Navy Colts Look away, Look away Work paid in goldBut you stood witness to yourselfOur trial you did betray Look away, Look awayTo judgment dayWe killed in the desert we killed in the streets We chose what shall and shall not be We stood with pistols, fought back to back Now you've stood your ground but what ground is that?
