lyrics

We didn't take Fort Everett
it wasn't meant to be had
true were the men but few were left behind
I held my rifle eyed their heads,
I told the sergeant the entire brigade should recede—“denied”
and I can tell you honestly
yes I can tell you all
that they were evil those eyes we seen


Lincoln raised their levies
we responded in kind
we held the fields
the cowards were then on the sides
and there were wild men hounding us
those were our very hides they were after
even stakes


And our pulses rose, we marched at the hill
and they had at us, oh it was all we could do to hold the line
under Shenandoah skies
and we had to, our drill, and never once thought as the mortars fell
we were equal, the same, our martyrs

we didn't take Fort Everett
whatever could that mean?
We rushed the hill
and they wore out and tore out our drive
because we were taught to held to our drill
heeded the corporals heeded the sergeants
and were even slaves
because we were taught to held to our drill
did what a regular ought to do
and we did the deedfor the stars and bars
