Today I Killed A Man |
| Today I killed a man I didn’t know |
| I held my rifle high and shot him low |
| I’d like to think he really was to blame |
| Well I never knew or never will his name |
| I guess that someone, somewhere knew him well |
| And they’ll cry when they’re told that he has fell |
| But it’s hard for me to think of him as good |
| 'Cause he’d done me just the same if he could |
| Oh mother, oh mama, I’m so cold |
| And I feel like I am quickly growing old |
| So I hope you are thinking of your son |
| 'Cause tomorrow morning I’ll be twenty-one |
| Oh Johnny Ray, Johnny Ray, oh, he don’t worry now |
| He don’t wonder how |
| Today my sergeant told me I’ve done well |
| That I’d sent another Southern boy to hell |
| But I can’t help wondering about the lost of life |
| And if that rebel soldier had a wife |
| Oh mama, oh mam, I’m so cold |
| And the good book doesn’t help me like you told |
| 'Cause it don’t tell me if I’m right or wrong |
| Or when this war will end, just how long |
| Oh mama, oh mama, I’m so cold |
| And I feel I am quickly growing old |
| So I hope that you are thinking of your son |
| 'Cause tomorrow morning I’ll be twenty-one |
