I Have Heard The Cannons Thundering All Night

And I Cannot Sleep For Wondering Why's A Rebel's Cause So Right

And The Morphine Seems To Do No Good At All

And I Would Run Away It I Would Not Fall

I Joined The Southern Cavalry For Fun

And I Had Rode A Thousand Horses

Always Had A Way With A Gun



Now I'm Among The Horseless Riders Lying Still

Swallowed Up By The Cause On The Widows Hill

And I Dreamed About A Rose In A Spanish Garden

And I Kissed You And I Placed It In Your Hair

And If I'm Ever On My Feet Again I Will

And I Will Run All The Way Just To Meet You There



Through The Day I Watched Those Southern Boys Go Down

And They Lay Like Georgia Peaches Bruised And Broken On The Ground

Through The Night I Wondered Was It Worth The Pain

And I Cried Not Revenge I Called Your Name



REPEAT CHORUS
