Tom Flannery - Chancellorsville lyrics

Joe Hooker is our leader He takes his whiskey strong But Lee got in his head And made him sing this song Singing There I was Here I go Outta my way You're too damn slow They say he got knocked out By a cannonball And 'twas brandy that revived him And again made him fall Singing There I was Here I go Outta my way You're too damn slow Stonewall turned our flank And the Dutchmen turned and fled I borrowed a dead man's canteen But the water was all red Gave as good as we got And again we're on our way Back to where we started To retreat another day Knit another name In that damned battle flag Chancellorsville can go to hell I'll get to heaven stag Singing There I was Here I go Outta my way You're too damn slow Throw dirt on the dead men Give the wounded men some air Toss 'em some hard tack And leave them lying there Chancellorsville I've had my fill If you don't do it Then someone will Too old to march Too young to die I'm only sorry That I can't fly
