| [00:14.188] |
Well I come from the valley, I'm a rebel boy. |
| [00:16.193] |
Born on the banks of the Shenandoah. |
| [00:17.956] |
In sixty-one, I went to the war, |
| [00:19.435] |
To win one for Virginia! |
| [00:28.194] |
Ya my brother went first and they called me to. |
| [00:30.184] |
I was green as clover in the morning dew. |
| [00:31.699] |
So I marched to the drum and I sang to the tune. |
| [00:33.695] |
Carry me back to Virginia! |
| [00:35.683] |
Fire in the cannon, water in the well, |
| [00:37.438] |
Raced through the valley with a rebel yell. |
| [00:38.942] |
I learned right quick how to march like hell and affix that bayonet. |
| [00:42.386] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [00:44.392] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [00:46.131] |
Carry me back to Virginia. |
| [00:53.148] |
With a sword and a saddle, powder in the gun. |
| [00:54.901] |
We thought for a minute our fight was done. |
| [00:56.427] |
So they lined us up to the metals arm, |
| [00:58.428] |
And hammered us into the quicksand. |
| [01:00.181] |
Then they burned that valley in a blaze of fire, |
| [01:01.924] |
Cut through the lands like a red hot iron. |
| [01:03.670] |
Til the men took cover where the horses piled, |
| [01:05.426] |
Then we shivered and then hold against them. |
| [01:07.172] |
But the war raged on like flames of hell, |
| [01:08.929] |
We dug through the pockets of the ones who fell, |
| [01:10.922] |
Dressed in rags and we ate that grass |
| [01:12.670] |
When they cut off our legs we cried! |
| [01:14.428] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [01:16.171] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [01:17.924] |
Carry me back to Virginia. |
| [01:19.680] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [01:21.169] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [01:23.114] |
Carry me back to Virginia. |
| [01:49.880] |
And they died in the valley, |
| [01:50.628] |
Died in the swamp, |
| [01:51.625] |
On the banks of the river where the whitetail jumped. |
| [01:53.119] |
Died in the ditches, |
| [01:54.115] |
Died in the fields, |
| [01:54.812] |
In the belly of a wagon for a woman's to heal |
| [01:56.582] |
Died in the war, |
| [01:57.824] |
Starved in the camps. |
| [01:58.569] |
Locked in the prisons of a meaner man. |
| [02:00.063] |
Spilled our blood in the fight to defend |
| [02:01.829] |
And to bury the tome of a-dixieland! |
| [02:03.812] |
Down in Alabama, |
| [02:04.571] |
Down in Caroline, |
| [02:05.577] |
Way down in Gerogie, on the Tennesee line. |
| [02:07.315] |
We fought for the rebels, and Robert E. Lee, |
| [02:09.056] |
Now we want to go home to Virginia. |
| [02:10.563] |
Say we want to go home to Virginia! |
| [02:13.573] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [02:15.080] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [02:16.819] |
Carry me back to Virginia. |
| [02:18.815] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [02:20.318] |
Won't ya carry me back? |
| [02:22.308] |
I wanna be buried in Virginia! |
