[00:08.325] You fought all the way
[00:09.954] Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
[00:12.273] You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
[00:18.775] Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee
[00:22.725] You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
[00:26.945] You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain
[00:31.127] Even tho' you lost they speak highly of your name
[00:35.350] 'Cause you fought all the way
[00:37.089] Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
[00:39.231] You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
[00:46.060] I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
[00:49.821] Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
[00:54.028] I saw the young boys as they began to fall
[00:58.063] You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all
[01:02.343] But you fought all the way
[01:04.292] Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
[01:06.224] You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
[01:12.518]
[01:13.160] I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand
[01:17.070] Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
[01:21.154] You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red
[01:25.444] When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead
[01:29.761] 'Cause you fought all the way
[01:31.383] Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
[01:33.505] You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
[01:40.356] When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
[01:44.246] The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball
[01:48.421] But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
[01:52.563] For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe
[01:56.711] 'Cause you fought all the way
[01:58.533] Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
[02:00.678] Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb
[02:05.291] You fought all the way
[02:07.047] Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
[02:09.321] You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
