Lyrics Civil War Song - Shel Silverstein

Civil War Song

One brother wore blue,
One brother wore gray,
One brother went,
One brother stayed,
One brother’s here,
One brother’s there,
Oh, where shall I fight,
Oh, what shall I wear?
I’m gonna wear my tight blue pants
And my gray sport jacket
And stay at home with the girls.
Now, now, now,
I don’t want to get to Gettysburg,
No, no, no, no,
I got a protest sign
And a bottle of wine
And my baby and I are gonna
Go, go, go, go.
Now, Grant and Lee
Don’t mean nothin' to me And fightin’s nothin' but a bore.
I’ll wear my tight blue pants
And my gray sport jacket
And to hell with the Civil War.
