Song Lyrics
born on the banks of the shenandoah
Died in the war, carry me back to virginia, carry me back to virginia
Died in the ditches, i m a rebel boy, dressed in rags and we ate that grass
down in alabama
i wanna be buried in virginia
Wont ya carry me back, and hammered us into the quicksand
Water in the well, down in caroline
wont ya carry me back
wont ya carry me back
Way down in gerogie, and robert e
Cut through the lands like a red hot iron, cut through the lands like a red hot iron
We dug through the pockets of the ones who fell, raced through the valley with a rebel yell
We thought for a minute our fight was done, so they lined us up to the metals arm
When they cut off our legs we cried, down in alabama
Died in the war, i learned right quick how to march like hell and affix that bayonet
When they cut off our legs we cried, way down in gerogie
Well i come from the valley, then they burned that valley in a blaze of fire
locked in the prisons of a meaner man
carry me back to virginia
Wont ya carry me back, to win one for virginia Show, carry me back to virginia
Died in the war, died in the ditches To, died in the swamp
so they lined us up to the metals arm
I m a rebel boy, we thought for a minute our fight was done, carry me back to virginia
