  • THE GHOST OF GENERAL LEE
  • (Waylon JENNINGS)
  • Guitar intro
  • Through the smoke and the mud and the blood we walked behind Robert E. LEE
  • Sixty miles from Richmond to face the Union Army
  • We dug our holes and we built a wall ‘cause we knew they’d be a fight
  • If the blue coats wearin’ soldiers crossed the river that night
  • Sure as hell that sundown came a hundred thousand men
  • And it’s sure did shock me Lord, Kin killing Kin
  • The cannonballs were heavy filled with iron and steel and lead
  • And the James river water ran a bloody red
  • Lord is it right did you mean to kill my brother here tonight
  • Guitar break
  • It’s been one hundred forty years and as I look around
  • I see a mighty city where there once was a battle ground
  • I thought when LEE surrounded we would fight no more
  • But the ghost of LEE can still see us fight the civil war
  • Lord is it right did you mean to kill my brother here tonight
  • Guitar to end
