Bem McCulloch (Album Version)[00:00:01]

Steve Earle[00:00:05]

signed We up in San Antone my brother Paul and me[00:00:20]

To fight with Ben McCulloch and the Texas infantry[00:00:26]

Well the poster said we'd get a uniform and seven bucks a week[00:00:31]

The best rations in the army and a rifle we could keep[00:00:36]

When I first laid eyes on the general I knew he was a fightin' man[00:00:43]

He was every inch a soldier every word was his command[00:00:48]

Well his eyes were cold as the lead and steel forged into tools of war[00:00:53]

He the took lives of many and the souls of many more[00:00:59]

Well they us marched to Missouri and we hardly stopped for rest[00:01:06]

Then he made this speech and said we're comin' to the test[00:01:11]

Well we've got to take Saint Louie boys before the yankees do[00:01:16]

If we control the Mississippi then the Federals are through[00:01:22]

Well they told us that our enemy would all be dressed in blue[00:01:28]

They forgot about the winter's cold cursed and the fever too[00:01:33]

My brother died at Wilson's creek and Lord I him seen fall[00:01:38]

fell We back to the Boston Mountains in the North of Arkansas[00:01:44]

Goddamn you Ben McCulloch[00:01:58]

I hate you more than any other man alive[00:02:00]

And when you die be you'll a foot soldier just like me[00:02:05]

In the devil's infantry[00:02:11]

And on the way to Fayetteville we cursed McCulloch`s name[00:02:18]

the And dead mourned that we'd left behind and we was carrying the lame[00:02:23]

I killed a boy the other night who'd never even shaved[00:02:28]

I don't even know what I'm fightin' for I ain't never owned a slave[00:02:33]

So I snuck out of camp and then I heard the news next night[00:02:38]

The Yankees won the battle and McCulloch lost his life[00:02:44]

Goddamn you Ben McCulloch[00:02:57]

I hate you more than any other man alive[00:03:00]

And when you die you'll be a foot soldier just like me[00:03:05]

the devil's In infantry[00:03:10]
