The Big Battle - JOHNNY CASH[00:00:00]
I think sir the battle is over and the young soldier laid down his gun[00:00:04]
I'm tired of running for cover I'm certain the bottle is done[00:00:12]
For see over there where we fought them it's quiet for they've all gone away[00:00:21]
All left is the dead and the dying the Blue laying long side the Gray[00:00:30]
So you think the battle is over and you even lay down your gun[00:00:42]
You carelessly rise from your cover for you think the battle is done[00:00:50]
Now boy hit the dirt listen to me for I'm still the one in command[00:00:59]
Get flat on the ground here beside me and lay your ear hard to the sand[00:01:08]
Can you hear the deafening rumble can you feel the trembling ground[00:01:20]
It's not just the horses and wagons that make such a deafening sound[00:01:29]
For every shot fired had an echo and every man killed wanted life[00:01:37]
There lies your friend Jim McKenney can you take the news to his wife[00:01:46]
No son the battle's not over the battle has only begun[00:01:59]
The rest of the battle will cover the part that has blackened the sun[00:02:07]
The fight yet to come's not with cannon nor will the fight be hand to hand[00:02:16]
No one will regroup the forces no charge will a general command[00:02:25]
The battle will rage in the bosom of mother and sweetheart and wife[00:02:37]
Brother and sister and daughter will grieve for the rest of their lives[00:02:46]
Now go ahead rise from your cover be thankful that God let you live[00:02:55]
Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they could give[00:03:04]
I see sir the battle's not over the battle has only begun[00:03:16]
The rest of the battle will cover this part that has blackened the sun[00:03:25]
For though there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no smoke in the sky[00:03:33]
I'm dropping the gun and the sabre and ready for battle am I[00:03:42]
