Wilderness - Peter Case[00:00:00]
We were marching down the orange plank road[00:00:16]
When the federals first we spied[00:00:22]
By the old Wilderness Tavern[00:00:28]
The armies did coll ide[00:00:33]
Lead began to fill whistle through the air[00:00:38]
And the dead dyin' piled up[00:00:47]
Their blood was everywhere[00:00:50]
In the Wilderness[00:00:55]
I was just seventeen[00:00:58]
By far the bloody angle was the worst[00:01:03]
I'd ever seen[00:01:06]
In the Wilderness[00:01:10]
We broke in disorder[00:01:17]
And fled into the pines[00:01:22]
Tangled in the underbrush[00:01:29]
We could not find our lines[00:01:32]
We faced 'em there for hours[00:01:36]
Till it grew to dark to fight[00:01:41]
And the groans cries for water[00:01:46]
Went unanswered in the night[00:01:49]
In the Wilderness[00:01:53]
In the early days of June[00:01:57]
Lyin' with the dyin' neath the green[00:02:02]
Virginia moon[00:02:05]
In the Wilderness[00:02:08]
Where the devil tempted Christ[00:02:11]
We got on the radio and ordered up a strike[00:02:17]
In the Wilderness[00:02:23]
So we set the woods[00:02:28]
On fire stopped 'em in their tracks[00:02:30]
We laughed as we saw 'em running shot 'em in the back[00:02:36]
They never saw it comin' from the guns up in the trees[00:02:44]
So we let 'em have it[00:02:50]
One more time as they fell down[00:02:52]
To their knees[00:02:54]
In the Wilder Emness[00:02:57]
I was way out in the Wilderness[00:03:30]
With the Stonewall Brigade[00:03:36]
The captain saw my wound[00:03:42]
And said son prayin' ain't my trade[00:03:44]
Jets roaring over[00:03:50]
We beheld the pride of mars[00:03:54]
With hearts the size of houses and eyes that blazed like stars[00:03:59]
In the Wilderness the serpent wears a crown[00:04:06]
But there were angels in the treetops[00:04:13]
As I lay my body down[00:04:16]
In the Wilderness[00:04:20]
I was just seventeen[00:04:23]
By far the bloody angle was the worst[00:04:27]
I'd ever seen[00:04:31]
In the Wilderness[00:04:34]
