Farewell Captain |
| Farewell to you, captain, the bravest in command. |
| Goodbye to all the soldiers |
| who didn’t give a damn |
| For we’re goin' back to Richmond, buddy, leavin' here today. |
| Gonna sell our |
| rifles for a jug and get drunk along the way |
| 'Twas in Virginia harbor Gen’ral Parker disappeared, tied sleeping soundly to a |
| tree |
| How we wept as we launched him and so cheerfully we cheered as the gen’ral |
| drifted slowly out to sea |
| Farewell to you, captain, the bravest in command. |
| Goodbye to all the soldiers |
| who didn’t give a damn |
| For we’re goin' back to Richmond, buddy, leavin' here today. |
| Gonna sell our |
| rifles for a jug and get drunk along the way |
| At the battle of Manasses, I had my certain chance to bravely fight the red and |
| white and blue |
| I was so blasted brave I stuck branches in my pants and, yes, I played a tree |
| 'til it was through |
| Please don’t think that we are cowards. |
| What a horrible suggestion! |
| It’s just that we don’t feel that we belong |
| Bobby misses his dear mother, John has acid indigestion and I think I feel a |
| migraine coming on |
| Farewell to you, captain, the bravest in command. |
| Goodbye to all the soldiers |
| who didn’t give a damn |
| For we’re goin' back to Richmond, buddy, leavin' here today. |
| Gonna sell our |
| rifles for a jug and get drunk along the way |
| Farewell to you, captain, we’re goin' to leave you now |
