Gettysburg Songtext - The Brandos

Gettysburg - The Brandos

Funk-Kincaid

By America's noble sons
If it hadn't had been for Irishmen
What would your Union've done
Hand to hand we fought them
All in the burning sun
Stripped to the pants we did advance
At the battle of Bull Run

On a cold October's day
The battlefield at Gettysburg
On a plaque I read my name
The wheels of time begin to turn
I see the years stripped away
I see their lines blue and gray

Chorus:

Down in Gettysburg
Saw them fall
Bloody Gettysburg
Took them all
Waited for the word
Never came
Retreat from Gettysburg

I've seen a lot of wicked things
Heard a lot of people cry
I know it couldn't touch the pain
Of seeing 50,000 die
I saw the sun fall away
The moon shone white on their graves

Chorus

Billy Yank said good-bye
Mother's son left to die
Dixieland look away
Mother's son died today

Papa fought a bloody war
His father in the one before
Walking through the haunted field
I knew we couldn't give no more
I saw the years stripped away
I watched men die blue and gray

Chorus
