Gettysburg (Battle Of Bull Run) Songtext
Battle Of Bull Run - Gettysburg (traditional / C. Funk, D. Kincaid) These days will be remembered By America's noble sons If it hadn't had been for Irishmen What would your Union've done Hand to hand we fought them All in the burning sun Stripped to the pants we did advance At the battle of Bull Run On a cold October's day The battlefield at Gettysburg On a plaque I read my name The wheels of time begin to turn I see the years stripped away I see their lines blue and gray Chorus: Down in Gettysburg Saw them fall Bloody Gettysburg Took them all Waited for the word Never came Retreat from Gettysburg I've seen a lot of wicked things Heard a lot of people cry I know it couldn't touch the pain Of seeing 50,000 die I saw the sun fall away The moon shone white on their graves Chorus Billy Yank said good-bye Mother's son left to die Dixieland look away Mother's son died today Papa fought a bloody war His father in the one before Walking through the haunted field I knew we couldn't give no more I saw the years stripped away I watched men die blue and gray Chorus
