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 b**h 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 k**ed 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 a**es 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.
