Song Lyrics
Won t you think of me too, i killed a union boy last week, i m writin this letter
I m all right and just one more thing, tell my children i miss em and wish i could kiss em once more Joey+Rory, there s a fever in camp and our boys are too sick to fight
tell mama and daddy i m all right and just one more thing
I m so scared, we ve been marching ten days and we re just outside hopkinsville Josephine, i m writin this letter
bet they ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door
Hope you re doing well josephine, at least there was two nights ago, marry another and don t let him treat our babies mean
Promise me that you will, six hundred of us Joey+Rory, marry another and don t let him treat our babies mean
Will irwin deserted and they hung him down by the stream, we attack tonight at nightfall Josephine, i m all right and just one more thing
It s the worst he s ever seen, tell mama and daddy i m all right and just one more thing, it s the worst he s ever seen
Tell mama and daddy i m all right and just one more thing, he looked just like our son Josephine, will irwin deserted and they hung him down by the stream
In case i should be killed, i m losing some weight
In case i should be killed, keep me in your prayers
at least there was two nights ago
from high on the hill
There s three thousand union troops camped at the river below, bet they ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door Josephine, i killed a union boy last week
Don t grieve me too long, it s colder than hell, but i m still standing up straight josephine
and when he s holding you
But i m still standing up straight josephine, i m so scared Joey+Rory, well the orders came down
will irwin deserted and they hung him down by the stream
Marry another and don t let him treat our babies mean, don t grieve me too long
Don t grieve me too long, i m so scared
Promise me that you will, keep me in your prayers
He looked just like our son, and when he s holding you Josephine, bet they ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door
tell my children i miss em and wish i could kiss em once more
We done lost old calvin, keep me in your prayers, keep me in your prayers
Promise me that you will, don t grieve me too long
We can win this war once and for all, marry another and don t let him treat our babies mean, tell my children i miss em and wish i could kiss em once more
Bet they ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door, tell mama and daddy, tell mama and daddy i m all right and just one more thing
bet they ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door
tell mama and daddy i m all right and just one more thing
tell my children i miss em and wish i could kiss em once more
Promise me that you will, i m all right and just one more thing, weaver won t make it through the night
I bet he wasn t fourteen, bet they ve growed a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door
Six hundred of us, weaver won t make it through the night
If we can stop them right here, tell mama and daddy
