Johnny Horton - Johnny Reb Lyrics
You fought all the wayJohnny Reb, Johnny RebYou fought all the way, Johnny RebSaw you a-marchin' with Robert E. LeeYou held your head high tryin' to win the victoryYou fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vainEven tho' you lost they speak highly of your name, 'causeYou fought all the wayJohnny Reb, Johnny RebYou fought all the way, Johnny RebI heard your teeth chatter from the cold outsideSaw the bullets open up the wounds in your sideI saw the young boys as they began to fallYou had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all, butYou fought all the wayJohnny Reb, Johnny RebYou fought all the way, Johnny RebI saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his handHeard the cannons roar as you made your last standYou marched in the battle of the Grey and the RedWhen the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead, 'causeYou fought all the wayJohnny Reb, Johnny RebYou fought all the way, Johnny RebWhen Honest Abe heard the news about your fallThe folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ballBut he asked the band to play the song DixieFor you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believeYou fought all the wayJohnny Reb, Johnny RebYeah, you fought all the way, Johnny RebYou fought all the wayJohnny Reb, Johnny RebYou fought all the way, Johnny Reb
