Veteran's Day

歌詞

Its Veteran's Day I hear the drums a beatin' And I ain't gonna make the parade cuz its the great world war, Nobody gives a goddam, About the one's who wore the blue and grey Look here it just turned 19 and 25, And I'm sure these boys did their mother's proud, But I was loyal ... to my native soil, And I'm a war relic now So who wore blue and who wore grey, It gets kinda vague as the memories fade, But we fought like cats, fought like dogs and they filled our boys full of lead And there's rows and rows of crosses for those, Who died at Bullrun and Shenandoah and I still hear the canon, See the bullet whizzin', My lungs are filled with powder smoke You know when men stop talking with bayonets and bullets, their words will be worth their weight in lead And look at all these widows who wouldn't sit crying, The men I ["taught"?] who fought it out between themselves So who wore blue and who wore grey, gets kinda a vague as the memory fades, But we fought like cats, fought like dogs, and they filled our britches full of lead That son bitch Sherman he burned my farm, His soldiers stole my woman away, One of 'em took her body like a child takes candy... She's a broke woman now But when she killed that yankee with a pitchfork there, She buried him she even said a prayer, Then she spit on his grave, Cursed Abe Lincoln She kept his gold watch for a souvenir So who wore blue and who wore grey, gets kinda a vague as the memories fades, But we fought like cats, fought like dogs, and they filled our asses full of lead But there's church bells chiming through the heart of Dixie Has Jefferson Davis risen from the dead? Oh no, its just Veteran's Day, You know I hate it when I lose my head See its Veteran's Day, I hear the drums a beatin' And I ain't gonna make the parade cuz its the great world war, Nobody gives a goddam, about the one's who wore the blue and grey So who wore blue and who wore grey, gets kinda a vague as the memories fade, But we fought like cats, fought like dogs, and they filled our britches full of lead Just bury me deep in a field of cotton Look away, Say bury me deep, I've been forgotten, Won't yah please look away I say bury me deep in a field of cotton.
