Lyrics
0:08You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
0:12You fought all the way Johnny Reb
0:18Saw you a marchin' with Robert E Lee
0:22You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
0:26You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain
0:31Even though you lost they speak highly of your name
0:34'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
0:39You fought all the way Johnny Reb
0:45I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
0:49Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
0:53I saw the young boys as they began to fall
0:57You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all
1:01But you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
1:06You fought all the way Johnny Reb
1:12I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand
1:16Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
1:20You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red
1:24When the cannon smoke cleared it took days to count the dead
1:28'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
1:33You fought all the way Johnny Reb
1:39When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
1:43The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball
1:47But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
1:51For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed
1:55'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
1:59Yeah You fought all the way Johnny Reb
2:04You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
2:08You fought all the way Johnny Reb
2:12You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb Saw you a marchin' with Robert E Lee You held your head high tryin' to win the victory You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain Even though you lost they speak highly of your name 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side I saw the young boys as they began to fall You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all But you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red When the cannon smoke cleared it took days to count the dead 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball But he asked the band to play the song Dixie For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb Yeah You fought all the way Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
