| Everyone but me is sick
|
| Can’t breathe here, the air’s too thick
|
| I can’t stand but i can’t drop
|
| Can’t save a man but i can’t stop
|
| There’s not enough of us to ever stem this tide
|
| The agony and filth is more than i can hide
|
| I mustn’t speak of failure but it’s filling my head
|
| And there’s not enough beds for these stinking dead
|
| I can’t stay, i can’t stop
|
| Can’t save a man but i can’t drop
|
| Amputate and i pray
|
| Always more casualties on the way
|
| I can’t stop, i can’t cry
|
| I’m only seventeen and i don’t know why
|
| Why? |
| why? |
| why?
|
| Do what i can but they die anyway
|
| The rebels give us more every night and day
|
| A woman serves her country by being a nurse
|
| I’m an angel bathed in blood and it’s a god damned curse
|
| Cauterize the wounds and lay 'em up in a cot
|
| The biggest men are laid to waste with one lead shot
|
| Please mister lincoln call this war to an end
|
| General lee’s getting closer and we have no more men
|
| And i can’t stay, i can’t stop
|
| Can’t save a man but i can’t drop
|
| Amputate and i pray
|
| Always more casualties on the way
|
| I can’t stop, i can’t cry
|
| I’m only seventeen and i don’t know why
|
| Why? |
| why? |
| why? |
