[00:18.40]
[00:36.00] From this day on I own my father's gun
[00:45.36] We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
[00:51.20] I laid his broken body down below the southern land
[01:01.48] It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands
[01:08.15] I'll take my horse and I'll ride the northern plain
[01:18.58] To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again
[01:27.03] I'll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won
[01:34.65] From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun
[01:42.53] I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
[01:49.57] To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
[01:58.32] `Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
[02:04.53] So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
[02:20.92] As soon as this is over we'll go home
[02:28.76] To plant the seeds of justice in our bones
[02:37.02] To watch the children growing and see the women sewing
[02:43.95] There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring
[02:53.48] I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
[03:01.54] To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
[03:09.00] `Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
[03:20.21] So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
[03:25.20] I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
[03:33.93] To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
[03:44.41] `Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
[03:47.33] So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
[03:57.72] I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
[04:06.29] To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
[04:13.36] `Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
[04:20.24] So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
[04:29.82] I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
[04:37.76] To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
[04:45.02] `Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
[04:52.67] So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
[05:01.57] I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
[05:08.84] To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
[05:16.23] `Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
[05:24.75] So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
[05:55.94] So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
[06:10.00]
