|
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 didn't 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 couldn't help at all, but |
|
You fought all the way |
|
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb |
|
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb |
|
I saw Gen'ral 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 he'd call a great vict'ry ball |
|
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie |
|
For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe |
|
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 |
