My Father's Gun |
| From this day on, I own my father’s gun |
| We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun |
| I laid his broken body down, below the southern land |
| What I’d do to bury him where any Yankee stands |
| I’ll take my horse and I’ll ride the Northern plain |
| Wear the color of the grey’s and join the fight again |
| I will not rest until I know the cause is fought and won |
| From this day on until I die, I’ll wear my father’s gun |
| I’d like to know where the riverboat sails tonight |
| To New Orleans, well that’s just fine, alright |
| 'Cause there’s fighting there and the company needs men |
| (Oh, woah) |
| Slip us a rope and sail around the bend |
| As soon as this is over, we’ll go home |
| Plant the seeds of justice in our bones |
| We’ll watch the children growing and see the women sewing |
| There’ll be laughter there when the bells of freedom ring |
| I’d like to know where the riverboat sails tonight |
| To New Orleans, well that’s just fine, alright |
| 'Cause there’s fighting there and the company needs men |
| (Oh, woah) |
| Slip us a rope and sail around the bend |
| Oh, I’d like to know where the riverboat, riverboat sails tonight |
| I’d like to know where the riverboat, riverboat sails tonight |
| Mmm, I’d like to know where the riverboat, riverboat sails tonight |
| 'Cause there’s fighting there and the company needs men |
| (Oh, woah) |
| Slip us a rope and sail around the bend |
