Californis Gold and Johnny Reb 2

CALIFORNIA GOLD AND JOHNNY REB PART 2 So now we’ve made it we’re back in Tennessee Don’t have to run anymore I’m in the land of the free Heard the president was sending boys called the yanks To take over our land and the money from our banks Now you don’t mess with the boys of the south Because we’ve been taught not to run our mouths So if you want a fight just make your way here These Johnny Reb boys will show you no fear I signed up for the 1st calvary just for a little while Now I’ve got my uniform and my girl gives me a smile A place called Shiloh dead soldiers every where Bullets flying all around but we don’t seem to care Captain said we had to go keep our on with the attack Then I felt the heat and pain from a bullet in my back Just tell my momma and girl I went down in a fight Because they said I wouldn’t make it through the night Marty West
