The Big Battle -Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

I think sir the battle is over and the young soldier laid down his gun[00:00:02]

I'm tired of running for cover I'm certain the bottle is done[00:00:11]

For see over there where we fought them it's quiet for they've all gone away[00:00:19]

All left is the dead and the dying the Blue laying long side the Gray[00:00:28]

So you think the battle is over and you even lay down your gun[00:00:36]

You carelessly rise from your cover for you think the battle is done[00:00:49]

Now boy hit the dirt listen to me for I'm still the one in command[00:00:57]

Get flat on the ground here beside me and lay your ear hard to the sand[00:01:06]

Can you hear the deafening rumble can you feel the trembling ground[00:01:16]

It's not just the horses and wagons that make such a deafening sound[00:01:24]

The fight yet to come's not with cannon nor will the fight be hand to hand[00:01:33]

No one will regroup the forces no charge will a general command[00:01:42]

The battle will rage in the bosom of mother and sweetheart and wife[00:01:51]

Brother and sister and daughter will grieve for the rest of their lives[00:02:00]

Now go ahead rise from your cover be thankful that God let you live[00:02:08]

Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they could give[00:02:17]

I see sir the battle's not over the battle has only begun[00:02:27]

The rest of the battle will cover this part that has blackened the sun[00:02:35]

For though there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no smoke in the sky[00:02:44]

I'm dropping the gun and the sabre and ready for battle am I[00:02:52]
