Riding A Raid |
| 'Tis old Stonewall the rebel that leans on his sword |
| And while we we are mounting prays low to the Lord |
| Now each cavalier who lover honor and right |
| Let him follow the feather of Stuart tonight |
| Come tighten your girth and slacken your reigns |
| Come buckle your blanket and holster again |
| By the click of the trigger and balance your blade |
| For he must ride sure that goes riding a raid |
| Galloping, galloping, galloping, galloping |
| Tighten your girth, slacken your reigns |
| Galloping, galloping, galloping, galloping |
| Buckle your blanket and holster again |
| Then gallop, now gallop to swim or to ford |
| Old Stonewalls still watching, prays low to the Lord |
| Goodbye dear old rebel, the rivers not wide |
| And Maryland’s lights in her window to guide |
| Come tighten your girth and slacken your reigns |
| Come buckle your blanket and holster again |
| By the click of the trigger and balance your blade |
| For he must ride sure that goes riding a raid |
| Galloping, galloping, galloping, galloping |
| Tighten your girth, slacken your reigns |
| Galloping, galloping, galloping, galloping |
| Buckle your blanket and holster again |
| Then gallop, then gallop by rivers and rocks |
| Who’d bar us the way take his toll in hard knocks |
| With these points of steel on the line of Penn |
| We’ve made some fine strokes and we’ll make them again |
| Come tighten your girth and slacken your reigns |
| Come buckle your blanket and holster again |
| By the click of the trigger and balance your blade |
| For he must ride sure that goes riding a raid |
| Galloping, galloping, galloping, galloping |
| Tighten your girth, slacken your reigns |
| Galloping, galloping, galloping, galloping |
| Buckle your blanket and holster again |
| Riding, riding, riding, riding, riding, riding the raid |
