Veteran's Day - Darden Smith[00:00:01]
It's Veteran's Day I hear the drums a beatin'[00:00:15]
And I ain't gonna make the parade[00:00:19]
Cuz it's the great world war[00:00:22]
Nobody gives a goddam[00:00:24]
About the one's who wore the blue and grey[00:00:27]
Look here it just turned 19 and 25[00:00:32]
And I'm sure these boys did their mother's proud[00:00:36]
But I was loyal to my native soil[00:00:39]
And I'm a war relic now[00:00:45]
So who wore blue and who wore grey[00:00:50]
It gets kinda vague as the memories fade[00:00:54]
But we fought like cats fought like dogs[00:00:57]
And they filled our boys full of lead[00:01:01]
And there's rows and rows of crosses for those[00:01:10]
Who died at Bullrun and Shenandoah[00:01:13]
And I still hear the canon[00:01:16]
See the bullet whizzin'[00:01:19]
My lungs are filled with powder smoke[00:01:22]
You know when men stop talking with bayonets and bullets[00:01:27]
Their words will be worth their weight in lead[00:01:31]
And look at all these widows who wouldn't sit crying[00:01:34]
Who fought it out between themselves[00:01:38]
So who wore blue and who wore grey[00:01:45]
Gets kinda a vague as the memory fades[00:01:49]
But we fought like cats fought like dogs[00:01:52]
And they filled our britches full of lead[00:01:56]
That son bitch Sherman he burned my farm[00:02:01]
His soldiers stole my woman away[00:02:06]
One of 'em took her body like a child takes candy[00:02:08]
She's a broke woman now[00:02:14]
But when she killed that yankee with a pitchfork there[00:02:19]
She buried him she even said a prayer[00:02:23]
Then she spit on his grave[00:02:25]
Cursed Abe Lincoln[00:02:28]
She kept his gold watch for a souvenir[00:02:31]
So who wore blue and who wore grey[00:02:37]
Gets kinda a vague as the memories fades[00:02:40]
But we fought like cats fought like dogs[00:02:44]
And they filled our asses full of lead[00:02:48]
But there's church bells chiming through the heart of Dixie[00:02:56]
Has Jefferson Davis risen from the dead[00:03:00]
Oh no it's just Veteran's Day[00:03:03]
You know I hate it when I lose my head[00:03:09]
See it's Veteran's Day[00:03:14]
I hear the drums a beatin'[00:03:15]
And I ain't gonna make the parade[00:03:19]
Cuz it's the great world war[00:03:21]
Nobody gives a goddam[00:03:23]
About the one's who wore the blue and grey[00:03:27]
So who wore blue and who wore grey[00:03:32]
Gets kinda a vague as the memories fade[00:03:36]
But we fought like cats fought like dogs[00:03:39]
And they filled our britches full of lead[00:03:43]
Just bury me deep in a field of cotton[00:03:48]
Look away[00:03:53]
Say bury me deep I've been forgotten[00:03:55]
Won't yah please look away[00:04:01]
I say bury me deep in a field of cotton[00:04:06]
