Now it's gone gone gone
Those years have passed away
It's gone gone gone
There's truth in what I say
It's gone gone gone
There's nothing more to say
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again
Well I'm an old man now and
I'm born to win the race
People won't believe me
but there's truth in what I say
Many hearts were broken
and a lot of tears were shed
The sky was black and the battlefield was red
Now it's gone gone gone
Those years have passed away
It's gone gone gone
There's truth in what I say
It's gone gone gone
There's nothing more to sa
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again
Now Stonewall Jackson stepped right up
and then he said to me
He said The battle's gettin' rough
son guess we better flee
There's grapeshot all around us
and the field is black with lead
You better start a runnin' boy
before you lose your head
It's gone gone gone
Those years have passed away
It's gone gone gone
There's truth in what I say
It's gone gone gone
There's nothing more to say
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again
Well the cannons roared around us
and the field was black with lead
I picked a soldier dressed in blue
and filled him full of lead
I picked out six more soldiers
there a sittin' on a mound
I fixed my bayonet to my gun
and really mowed them down
Now it's gone gone gone
Those years have passed away
It's gone gone gone
There's truth in what I say
It's gone gone gone
There's nothing more to say
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again
