I'm writin' this letter my darlin' from high on the hill[00:00:10]
We've been marching ten days and we're just outside Hopkinsville[00:00:17]
It's been snowing all night and we ain't got no more kerosene[00:00:25]
It's colder than hell hope you're doing well Josephine[00:00:33]
There's a fever in camp and our boys[00:00:45]
Are too sick to fight[00:00:48]
We done lost old Calvin[00:00:53]
Weaver won't make it through the night[00:00:56]
I overheard the captain say it's the worst he's ever seen[00:01:01]
I'm losing some weight but I'm still standing up straight Josephine[00:01:09]
Tell my children I miss 'em[00:01:17]
And wish I could kiss 'em once more[00:01:19]
Bet they've growed a foot since they waved me[00:01:25]
Goodbye at the door[00:01:28]
Tell mama and daddy I'm all right and just one more thing[00:01:31]
I love you I love you I love you Josephine[00:01:38]
There's three thousand union troops camped at the river below[00:01:51]
Six hundred of us at least there was two nights ago[00:01:58]
Will Irwin deserted and they hung him down by the stream[00:02:07]
God I'm so scared keep me in your prayers Josephine[00:02:14]
Well the orders came down[00:02:22]
We attack tonight at nightfall[00:02:24]
If we can stop them right here[00:02:30]
We can win this war once and for all[00:02:32]
You know I killed a union boy last week[00:02:38]
I bet he wasn't fourteen[00:02:42]
He looked just like our son[00:02:46]
Forgive me for what I've done Josephine[00:02:48]
Tell my children I miss 'em[00:02:54]
And wish I could kiss 'em once more[00:02:56]
Bet they've growed a foot[00:03:02]
Since they waved me goodbye at the door[00:03:04]
Tell mama and daddy I'm all right[00:03:08]
And just one more thing[00:03:11]
I love you I love you I love you Josephine[00:03:16]
And lastly my darling in case I should be killed[00:03:28]
Don't grieve me too long promise me that you will[00:03:35]
Marry another and don't let him treat our babies mean[00:03:44]
And when he's holding you won't you think of me too Josephine[00:03:52]
Tell my babies I miss 'em[00:03:59]
And wish I could kiss 'em once more[00:04:01]
Bet they've growed a foot[00:04:07]
Since they waved me goodbye at the door[00:04:09]
Tell mama and daddy I'm all right and just one more thing[00:04:13]
I love you I love you I love you Josephine[00:04:21]
I love you I love you I love you[00:04:28]
Josephine[00:04:35]
