about

The casulaties of the American Civil War

lyrics

I was raised in these cotton fields
The canvas for our sins
I’d reaped and sowed my land with the evil
Of men in chains

When Lincoln came in ‘61
To condemn the wrong I’d done
I turned my ploughshare into a sword
And bid farewell to my only son

But now I’d give my rifle
To work those fields with my own hands.
If I could go back
To before this Hell began

Cause I see it now,
It washes over me like a flood,
The price of my greed
Was flesh & blood.

Twenty years ago this day
Lord, it won’t leave me eyes
Along the banks of Bayou Teche
The Union took us by surprise

A young boy came at me running
I fired a shot in reckless haste
Underneath that soldier’s cap
I found my own son’s face

I’d give that rifle
To work those fields with my own hands.
If I could go back
To before this Hell began

Cause I see it now,
It washes over me like a flood...

I’d give that rifle
To work those fields with my own hands.
If I could go back
To before this Hell began

Cause I see it now,
It washes over me like a flood...
