Johnny Reb

Lyrics for Johnny Reb

Give it up and sound down the flag That we're proud of you Johnny Reb, you fought all the way Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb I saw you marchin' with Robert E Lee You held your head high tryin' to win the victory You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain Even though you lost they speak highly of your name 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side I saw the young boys as they began to fall You had tears in your eyes that you couldn't help at all You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red When the smoke cleared it took days to count the dead 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb When President Lincon heard the news about your fall Everybody thought the'd be a victory ball But he asked the band if they'd play Dixie For you Johnny Reb and for all you believed 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb
