Tom Flannery - Cold Harbor lyrics

Pin my name to the back of my coat This last entry have I willed June 3rd, Virginia, 1864 "Mother, I was k**ed" See it coming like the rising sun Or a storm pa**ing by Smell the blood in the air I'm so lonesome I could cry A curse upon Cold Harbor A stain upon the land A curse upon Cold Harbor Won't you fight me like a man You can k** me if you can You can k** me if you can You think I'm close to cracking up? You think I'm gonna fall apart? Just wait 'till that rebel cannister comes And plows right through my heart You can hang that picture on your wall You can stick me in a frame Another used up country boy Covered with pieces of someone else's brain A curse upon Cold Harbor A stain upon the land A curse upon Cold Harbor Won't you fight me like a man A curse upon Cold Harbor Won't you k** me if you can Won't you k** me if you can Smash my head off of breastworks Just like I'm a battering ram You don't know what the hell you're doing You don't even know who I am Stick your romance up your arses And your flag where the sun don't shine Move your own self to Richmond Leave all of me to mine If this war ever ends And I pa** this way again Please strike me blind and dumb Don't want to see or remember when A curse upon Cold Harbor A stain upon the land A curse upon Cold Harbor Won't you fight me like a man You can k** me if you can You can k** me if you can Pin my name to the back of my coat This last entry have I willed June 3rd, Virginia, 1864 "Mother, I was k**ed"
