Johnny Rebb |
| You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb |
| You fought all the way Johnny Reb |
| Saw you a marchin' with Robert E Lee |
| You held your head high tryin' to win the victory |
| You fought for your folks but you didn’t die in vain |
| Even though you lost they speak highly of your name |
| Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb |
| You fought all the way Johnny Reb |
| I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside |
| Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side |
| I saw the young boys as they began to fall |
| You had tears in your eyes cause you couldn’t help at all |
| But you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb |
| You fought all the way Johnny Reb |
| I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand |
| Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand |
| You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red |
| When the cannon smoke cleared it took days to count the dead |
| Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb |
| You fought all the way Johnny Reb |
| When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall |
| The folks thought he’d call a great victory ball |
| But he asked the band to play the song Dixie |
| For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed |
| Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb |
| You fought all the way Johnny Reb |
| (Yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb |
| You fought all the way Johnny Reb |
| You foughtall the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb |
| (Yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb |
